C5 HID projector Headlights info
All,
Has anyone installed any of these lights or have been thinking about doing so or does anyone have some better prices? I am going with flat/matte black for the car and these I think would look great. Also any info on doing an HIG upgrade? Thanks.

hmmm...their "click to enlarge" option doesn't make them any larger, but i agree they look just like depos to me.
you can get them elsewhere for cheaper.

Look like Depo's to me too.
If you shop around you can find those with a set of black corner lights (where the C5 has chrome around the lights is black instead) for around $400.

Yep definitely Depo's and quite a few have done them, I had them on my FRC and they are pretty nice. I put some 6K HIDs in it and it was noticeably brighter than stock.
Couple pix on my FRC..

Before you buy them - look for more threads on the depo lights. I've read a few threads about the clear lens cracking after a few months especially on the edges. But it's up to you. 
Some have remove and painted them to cover the cracks. Hope this helps!
