Default Anyone using Eckler's Flush Headlights?

Not suggesting they are exclusive to Eckler's, maybe they are, but does anyone have them? If so, how do you like them?

What might be a better or less expensive alternative? I like flush covers and housings that can be painted. Can anyone tell me the manufacturer of the Eckler's model? I have done some searching but the whole subject is a bit confusing.

Thanks

I have them. I like them a lot. Gives you the C6 look. The lighting isn't the best really. But they came on the car when I got it

Those are garbage. Basically crappy molds with an LT1 Camaro high beam and a crappy low beam.

Get the stealth cannons V2 from radio flyer if you want flush lights. They're approx the same price and are a better product.

I met a guy here in PA that has them in his C5 vert. He HATES them and was actually talking to me about how much I like my ACAs with drop in HIDs. While they look smooth and provide that C5R "look" the focal points are not all that great and there are MUCH better options out there for that kind of money or much less. JW and Radio Flyer are member vendors on here and have a much better product in regards to light output performance.
