there are lights you can get that will fit inside the stock buckets of where your pop ups are. Most of them cost around 1K. and require little body work if any depending on the model you chose.
I can't imagine C6 lights looking good on a C5

I'm not sure the money would be worth it. I think it looks awesome in theory. Here are some photoshops that I posted back in 05 when the C6 came out and I for one love the look. These are PHOTOSHOP touch-ups.

Guess I'll wait before I try that.
I can live with the pop-ups and it looks good during the day.

If you really want to get rid of the pop ups, the C6 conversion is the only way to go. The kits with the “bubble” non pop ups look like ****. IMHO

They never did look like "****" on a C5R
