Default question about hid lights

has anyone installed the lemans style hid lights in a 2002 C5 ?
i cant find any pics that show how they look installed. all i can find is pics that are photoshoped with them .
before i drop 300 bucks i want to make sure they look good.
if they dont i will use the hid lights that replace the headlight assy on the flip ups.
here are the ones im thinking about.
if anyone has pics front ,side that would be great.

Where is the the "pop-up love"? Personally, I think pop-ups add to the character of the C5 and helps differentiate it from the C6.

Although I understand the need for better than OEM lighting, there are true HID projector options that maintain the pop-ups. Search under ACA, JW Motoring and Radio Flyer Light Cannons to start. There are also some sleepy eye HIDs pop-ups under development.

If you choose to go with a Depo, C5R style light, make sure to shop around as there have been threads pertaining to quality, i.e. consensation build up, cracks in the plexiglass coverings, etc.

Good luck.
