Default C5R Headlight question? yes/no

I am looking to do the conversion from stock headlights to C5R dual lamps. Several places carry them from different prices. Ebay has a few different sellers from $350-550 or you could spend $1200 at WCC or someother Vette store. Has anyone ever bought these lights from Ebay and what has been your experience? Thanks need to know

The "Ebay" ones are normally the Depo Lights, do a search, most people who have got them like them a lot.

Yeah just do a search, there's a pretty long thread about these lights, I think they look great! Will be getting a set soon, tired of the pop-up look and no HID.

I have the Specter Werkes C5R lights.

They are similar to the Depo Lights, however the Specter Werkes version has removable lenses (lids) and mine have been upgraded to HID's.

I have a set of on my vett and am going to change them out. time for another custom upgrade. I do think the non pop up lights are the way to go.

One thing you'll want to do is paint the top outside of the lights, this helps them blend in better for a smoother look.
