Default need help finding something

I've seen a few corvettes with lights where the front license plate cover goes on the C5s. where do I find them? I've been looking for a few days but I can't figure out where to get them. any help anyone can give me in finding them would be great.
thanks in advance!

Several carry them. One is found at www.Ecklers.com. "1997-2004 LeMans Type Auxillary Lighting System," Part # 40046, $599.99 for kit. Suggest ou get on the mailing lists of several Corvette aftermarket vendors and get their free catalogs for comparison shopping. Happy hunting!

I was looking for a similar setup. I want the larger c5r type lights(yellow)up front though. Found pictures http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=2080216

Think to get THAT look like I want I may have to do a custom installation as a member suggested

Good luck!!!

No sir. I prolly won't do anything if at all til this coming winter/spring. I really like the look though

Another member suggested buying the common kit. Then having someone with some skillz(not I), cut to fit bigger lights like seen on the the pictures I had put up. Seems like a good idea
