doesnt seem to hard to just push the light back into the bezzel farther and avoid the hump. buy a clear peace of plexi glass to some sheet metal fabricating underneath the plexi glass paint the sheetmetal fabrication up black slap on the flat plexi glass and voulla! pm me if interested in pic direction so i can take them while i am doing.
non pup headlights would cost 1000 minimum. i bet one could do it him self for 150 + time.

Is the C5R cover the lens and the bucket, all in one piece? If it's just the lens, how'd you hold it up? This is a project I'd seriously like to do. I'm not crazy about the popups at all.
