There are other options
But when it comes to non popups.
The lens has to be made very well without flaws for it to work correctly.
I have not found a good solution to the non pop up without lots of modification.

they are e-marked halogen and you can get them in CF and you need to cut out a little bit of bodywork to install them.
Here you are

Red car does not have Lingenfelter lights either. These are, and are actually Ferarri 550!

I just installed a set of NOT-MEE's HIDs in my C5. They look very good, but keep the stock look on the body.
Some of those pics, well, I'm glad those aren't my vettes.

Some of those look great, especially the Lingenfelter package.
However, I like the C5 for what it is. The C5 does not have those lights, or radio controls on the steering wheel or a GPS. As much as I love all those features, I love the C5. I would not consider adding these to my C5 anymore than I would on a C2.

I build the headlight in my car. As I could not find anything that I like either. But what alot of work I have about $1,000 in parts and $4,000 in shop labor time. I did have to modify the front bumpercover. The C6 lights and the nsx lights both look great. If you want it done do it right and the way you want it the first time. I have had alot of people call about my light that have the fixed light that are out noe and the all are unhappy with them. hope it help and good luck.
Ther are picture of mine in my photos and on my website www.customshop.org

Yes indeed, this is a C12 Callaway.
The other black car with flush lights made in Switzerland, and not Sweden, are NOT Callaway lights.
You'll have to pardon my screwed up multi posts, as my computer is going bonkers.

I mention this so anyone interested in purchasing that light kit will know who to contact.
if anyone's interested, I purchased the light kit in the above picture from Callaway & they will run you a little under $3200
The Concept, C 60 light kit pictured below ,that was mentioned earlier, has been discontinued. But if the guy decides to make them again. I wouldn't buy them unless he finally makes a lens for the kit.

I like the "hidden" popup headlight style, but the quality of light (beam, color, intensity) just isn't there on the stockers, thats for sure.
What I'd really like to see and shouldn't be too hard to make would be white LED headlights as a drop in replacement for the plastic housing.
If you've used one of the latest SureFire LED flashlights, you know how crazy powerful they can be.
Toyota already proved it feasible on cars back in 03, and not only are they extremely bright but they are very light and compact and use very little power. I believe the Audi A8 has replaced all lighting including the headlights with Luxeon LEDs for either this or next model year.
