Default ***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)


Regular ballasts VS Slim ballasts (we use many types of ballasts. 3 are shown)




My personal vehicle. Stock halogen on left in pic and 6000k HID on the right




See more pics of our customer's cars in the gallery


Order here for Regular ballasts <----------------- $80 Shipped


Order here for Slim ballasts <----------------- $95 Shipped


Order here for the resistor


To sum it up

If you want everything you need to install low beams you pay $115 for slim ballasts and only $100 for regular ballasts. Why pay more??

For cars other than the C5

We can get these for just about any vehicle. Don't know your bulb size?
Click here:http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...de/default.htm


Please note 9003 is H4 in HID.

***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.

Order here for regular ballasts

Order here for Slim ballasts



Temp options from left to right attached.

3000k, 4300k (pure white), 5000k, 6000k (most popular), 8000k (blue), and 10000k

Default 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.

They are in stock and ready to ship.

Covered by our 1 year replacement warranty.



$25. Only from JWM.

Do the low beam kit create glare? If so how bad is it? It is a shame how bad the OEM C5 headlamps perform.

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!

They fit right in the housings.

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.
