I am looking for the ACA headlights, not the depo style. I want the projectors and still keep the factory pop ups. I believe these are the same lights that Mr. Bill has on his car. I saw them on ebay for $230 a few months ago and now they are gone.

Can someone point me in the direction on where to get these. I am going to be taking a road trip and will be doing a lot of night driving, need to get these installed by Friday! Thanks for any and all help!

I have HID 6000 now from JW, hope these will slip into the new lights!

 

Reach out for radioflyer (George) or Johnathan at JWM. Both very good vendors that I've ordered from. Purchased modified ACA's from radio flyer.

 

We're the only two with new sets.

 

PM sent.

 

I have them. Black housings with 4300 HID temp and matching HID fogs. I will post a picture later. Currently at the St. Pete Pier show...

I got mine from flebay had them modified by Radioflyer.
The mod real makes for a bright light without blinding on coming traffic.
low beam
high beam

 

I run them from Jonathan - JWMotoring. Great lighting!

 

had mine for years...one tip...aim them a tad lower than you would standard lights, or you will get flashed by oncoming cars...also, very important low budget item...do your foglights with HIDs as well; then aim them slightly left and right to increase your field of vision tremendously...both will stay on and you will never need your high beams at all.

 

I got them too, a Few years back. what's involved in this "Mod" by George?

The modification replaces the original projector (which works, but could be better) with a Bi-xenon projector with superior optics:

I currently have 4 sets of these in stock.

 

Hey Al, can you post up some pics of your headlights?

I really like these lights, I can spend 10k on go fast mods, but I'm having a hard time swallowing $500 for headlights, also please tell me the absolute truth on how you like these, no BS just straight up, thanks Bud!

 

You get 3x the light output all while updating the look of the car. If you ever drive the car at night, I can't imagine many reasons to stay stock. I had George mod my ACA's with 5k's.

 

Below are a few pics. I purchased my set from JW Motoring in 2010. That was the year I swapped out all of my exterior lighting including rear halo LEDs, new front corners, Adjure reverse lights/sidemarkers and Switchback LEDs. As mentioned, I also installed 4300 temp HID fogs to match the 4300 temp ACA HID lows.

As you know, the 1997 GM halogen lighting is a joke compared to today's standards. Since most of my driving is during the day, I did not want to replace my pop-ups, plus I'm old school and love them. They only add to the C5 personality IMO and since I don't plan to compete at the 24 Hours of Lemans, I don't worry about the pop-ups slowing me down.

The trickiest part was to make sure your cut-off is accurate. It's not until you have projectors in your lights that you realize how off your stock housings are. Make sure to lube up the golden adjustment rod because you will need it to line up the lights.

My OEM halogen fogs were about as bright as a worn-down flashlight. After I added the HID fogs with the white/switchback LED corners, I basically had a second set of driving lights. Combined with my ACA HID lows, I have never needed to use my bright lights.

Regarding the ACA highs, everything you read is correct about how the original design flaw prevents them from aligning correctly with the lows. For me, it's no big deal because I do not use them except when I flash to pass. Which is something else to think about if you are considering adding HID highs or the bi-xenon mod. I had read earlier that flashing HIDs is bad for their electronics and reduces bulb life.

Overall, I love my lighting mods and ACAs in particular. I also like the bi-xenon mod that RadioFlyer is offering and I wonder if he can incorporate the halo rings as well.







The day I added the Switchbacks:

 

I agree with all of the above. The ACA HD/foglight HD combo is great. Also be sure to correctly aim the HD fog lights. If you don't, and they are aimed too high, you won't get the true benefit from them.

Installation is also easy, at least after you understand how to route the cabling to the left lights (it goes under the lip of the front bumper, using cable ties).

While you have everything opened up, consider also adding new cornering lights (unless you like the stockers). [It's fun spending someone else's money.]

What bulbs are used in the JW and Radioflyer version? H9,h11,etc?

 

The Base version uses an H9 and my version uses and H1

 

Does your ACA mod offer the Halo rings similar to your other HID lights?

 

I'm glad someone read my comments! I do appreciate it and am always here to help....
