These look absolutely terrific Richard! 
I am curious about one thing on the front markers: When you say "chrome" do you mean that the inside reflector is, or has been, chromed? I not worried or anything, it's just that I thought the OEM units did not have chrome reflective surfaces but rather, used silver paint. Are these units OEM that have been chromed or are they all new production pieces?
I'm very interested in these.
Many thanks,
Robert

for those of you interested in a darker than cherry look, Richard also offers complete blackout versions: as seen on a few of the black C5s previously mentioned. (I have the complete 9 pc kit blacked out)
LEDs make it even better.
for the best damn blackouts period

Thank you Robert. These are new Depo brand Front Markers with Diamond-Cut Chrome reflective backing plates. Which is why they're typically brighter than the OEMs. The only GM part in this kit, is the 3rd Brake Light. All other parts are Name Brand aftermarket, which IMO are far superior than GM's lights & housings. The picture below is what we start with, prior to tinting

No wonder the led bulbs look like crap with stock lenses. Thanks again for the info, will be getting some led lighting for the license plate soon.

okay, want to send my third brake light, rear side lights and fronts in to get treated ( will drive without markers and rear center while waiting for returns,as my vette is a daily driver.....), I also want to buy rear lights and am wondering if you will you provide a core credit to send in my rears? what is total cost for what I am wanting?
all in all.... looking to go with black outs on all of my lenses, and buy new rears, and get a credit for my current oem rears..... am I making sense?
