Default Depo Non Popup Lights - Ugly?

Just saw a C5 this morning getting some gas with a set of these Depo non popup lights I know C5R's had them but even still on a street....

I think these things throw off the whole look of the front end not to mention majority of the time the housing color doesnt coincide with the car as in the C6's



Am I the only one that think these things are ugly?

You're not the only one, but there are some that will disagree also. Just a matter of preference.

Matter of taste. I think they look much better painted to match the car color.JMHO

I do think they sit a bit too high making it kinda froggy, but I'll take function over looks anyday. Stock lighting sucks at night. and the price is right

I'm not a fan. I agree, they look "froggy", and the vent things look kinda cheezy to me. But then, I'm certainly not the last word in good taste. To each their own.

Get a set of ACA HIDs...........massive improvement in light and quality and you retain the stock look and function.

Just my 2 cents

Once again when you get into the realm of custom it's all about an individual's taste. If your want to make everyone happy then keep it stock but if you want to make yourself happy then do what you think looks best.

I don't like them either, but to each their own. I don't even pop up my headlights at night and usually just drive around with the fogs, but that is usually just on well lit streets.

I'm 50/50 on them. I have seen a few members cars on the forum though that look pretty good..their cars were slammed and the lights painted to match.

What do you guys Honestly think of these? If you don't like them write it. I would like any kind of feedback. My headlight motor started going out on me and decided to go non pop up. I looked around and came acrost the depo lights but didn't like the way they looked just put onto the car, especially the chrome ones that I bought because I got a good deal on them. And like I said be honest on your opinion, some will like my car and some will not. It's all about people prefrences.
