Default Rare exposed head lights ***Work safe avatar***

***WORK SAFE AVATAR***
i've seen these rare exposed head light's on the forum awile back they looked like the stock pop ups just that they had maybe a 4 inch window to expose the head light and delete the pop up. i've been searching the forum for about a month now hoping some body would post a pic with the makers info but no luck i've also tried the seach but nothing. does any body know the maker of the head lights? im sorry but i dont have a picture

Non pop-up headlights that look like pop-ups im kind of confused I guess. The only fixed headlights I know of are the C5R specter works lights or whatever which IMO dont look that good. They are also of very poor quality I read. Fit and finish is not good and they are WAY over priced. If I remember correctly near $1,000 and they arent even HID. They are some low quality cheapo projectors in there. I also know of another that use sealed beam rectangular halogen lamps in the housing (same sealed beam as 93-97 Camaros. These are the ones that have computer type cooling fans in them. Basically there isnt a nice fixed headlight setup for the C5 they are all overpriced, poor quality/functionality, and just not worth it. The best C5 headlight upgrade by far is the ACA HID headlight housing upgrade. They not only look good but use very high quality HID components and projectors.
Hope this helps.
