Default Projector headlights

Any have any pictures of projector headlights installed on your vettes? I would ideally like to see it on a black vette. Also what are your opinions on this mod?

Are you looking to go the ACA route or something like the Depos?

I was thinking depos. Im not sure how it would look on my car, which is a black coupe. I just wanted to see what people think of them, and if they own them do you like them?

I love my Specter Werkes Lights! I get comments on them everywhere I go. I don't really care for the DEPO lights however. I think they the shape of the lens is off for the rest of the body and SW lenses are much more subtle and smooth looking. You'll hear constantly that they both sit above the body, but who really cares. Don't flip ups kill the lines of the body when they're up?? Any ways... if you need some pictures I have some I can send if you PM me

Personally, I'm not too big of a fan. I think the hideaway headlights are part of what makes a Corvette a Corvette. One of the main reasons I'm not a fan of the C6's.

Some cars can pull it off, but for the most part, not so much.

With a slight modification to the projectors, you can get a really nice stepped cutoff pattern too.

these are the best non popup projectors i've seen for the c5.






they're a breathless housing modified with bixenon projectors.

i love the look of the flush housing vs the raised ones.
