Default Headlight conversion ?

Do they make a kit that will convert the C5 headlights over to the fixed style like the C6 has? I like the look of the open glassed lights on the newer cars better then the pop up style..

Yes, but why.....?
My wife insisted after I bought my C6 that I bought her a low mileage '04.
She says if the headlights don't pop up and I can't look up and see the sky it is not a REAL Vette.

Because I like the looks of the C6 headlights on a C5 car.

I'm installing the C5R lights from Depot, they are pretty popular, you can find them on that auction site.
