Default Fixed headlights on a C5, need help identifying

I've seen the ones by breathless performance and specter works, never was a huge fan.

Then, I came upon these.

I LOVE them. Can anyone assist me in identifying these lights?

That's had some modification to the bodywork. Mega $ I'd guess.

I don't recognize the plate. I think its either Norwegian or Danish

Looks like a Swedish plate like the guy with the blue painted fog lights has in the other thread. I agree those look stunningly good, but probably not for whatever it must have cost.

Okay, I was just going by memory recall of the relative plate size and coloring. Thanks. No idea then, clearly.

Wait a sec. The guy from Sweden in the other thread I mentioned does indeed have three letters and three numbers on a white plate. What are you trying to pull on me here, DeeGee?

I think that ones Norway or Denmark. We see loads of Euro plates here in UK but that one's not very common.

Norwegian Vette would know. I'm sure there cant be many cars over there modded with those lights.

There was a company in Vegas that was building those lights. If I remember the price tag was upwards of $2000. Unfortionatly I believe their website has been down for a while which usually means the company is too.

I really like those but I am sure they are very expensive to do.

If that price is Swiss Franc, those puppies would be just over $5000 before mods to bumper, fenders and hood

With that outrageous price, perhaps it includes the mods. I still could not justify it but they are by far the best C5 fixed lights I have seen...

I agree Argent. They are the first set I've seen that don't seem to be a "quick fix." They seem almost like they were designed by GM themselves, you can tell passion went into them.

And, if I had the money, i would blow it on this without looking back.

With the tigershark front fascia, this would look like an entirely different car! (In a good way though!)

Erm, 575's headlights are much rounder and not as tall.
