***HID Conversion Kits for your C5***
We realize not everyone wants to spend $600- $1,000 on a light upgrade. For those that don't, we have a nice option for you!
The C5 kits are plug n play kits. They have been tested to be the best out there for your C5.
The fogs use a spade connector instead of an OEM connector.
1 year warranty on ballasts and bulbs.If they break we replace them!
Each kit comes with:
2- Ballasts 2- Bulbs Mounting hardware Zip Ties Full technical support
These kits are sold by ballasts size. Slim ballasts are thin and will fit in any vehicle.
They are $95 shipped.
Regular ballasts are bigger and might not fit in all vehicles (they will in C5s just fine).
They are $80 shipped.
The only difference is the size. Nothing else!!!
If you order the C5 low beams be sure to order an in line resistor (this is available as an option when checking out). Your buckets will require you to hit your highs to lower if you don't order this resistor. Only 1 is needed per car. When you order a HID kit these are only $20 extra. If you order separate they are $25 shipped.
What they look like in the box (slim for reference)

***Important*** When ordering these for cars other than C5s I will not accept returns on items if you selected the wrong bulb size (or ballast size). Make sure you know the correct bulb size before ordering. I will only accept returns for defective equipment or if I send you the wrong kit.

In line resistor
This is the fix for the buckets being stuck in the up position after installing a HID kit.
This resistor has been tested on my personal automobile 100s of customer vehicles. It provides your C5 the necessary 55 watts to keep your low beams opening and closing when using 35 watt HID kits. This adapter plugs in between the ballast and OEM or HID wiring for a fast, easy install.

Not if you have your lights aimed properly. The C5 sits so low it wont bother other vehicles unless you have the lights aimed up too high. Yes those OEM lights are dangerous!

I just installed both the HID Fog Lights and the HID low beams. Installation was very simple and Jhonathan provided superior support when I had a question!
After trying them out, I see I do need to adjsut the aiming a bit, but they do produce so much more light than the stock bulbs!
This is truly the best bang for the buck, I got my 6000 low beams a few weeks ago but only drove in the dark a few nights ago, what an amazing difference. Thanks Jonathan.

I guess I am the lone person out, I think stock c5 lights are fine, not that the hids aren't better, I just think my lights are fine, better than my other cars.

I can't agree though. The C5 stock lights are some of the worst out there. My $9,000 Camaro (paid that in 03) had better lights.
