Z06 Non-retractable headlights

Hey guys,

I saw a long time ago a picture somewhere of a C5 Z06 with these HID C6 style fixed, non pop-up headlights.
They looked a little bit different than the C6s but changed the whole entire looks of the car, it looked really good.

Anybody knows where to get these, how much they cost, availability, different brands, pros and cons, anyone here have one, any pictures maybe?

Thanks,

Are you maybe thinking of the yellow C5 that had Honda or NSX headlights grafted in to it? I remember pictures like that months ago. It was a very professional job.

Yeah, it was something down that line.

The car looked really cool with them but I have seen different ones too though throughout the years, some looking better than others.

The ones that the guy posted here were really cool, I would probably get black though.
They are also more practical too considering they dont have headlight motors that can break leaving you stranded without headlights.

I have seen this type of headlight conversion on many other cars too that originally came with pop-up headlights like the RX-7 twin turbo and older NSXs.
I wonder how many different types of these are offered on the market.
