Default Projector lamps.

What's everyone's opinion on replacing the flip up headlights with flush mounted projector headlights. I've got mixed feelings and can't decide what to do? Opinions please.

My opinion was that I wanted projector headlights but wanted to keep the pop-ups so I bought some from JW. They are great. If you want fixed I would go with Radioflyers lights.

I went with projectors and kept the flip-ups. I feel that for the c5, they were meant to be.

I'm more a function over form kinda guy.
I do alot of night "driving", and those stock hood mounted air brakes makes no sense. doing a simple Pros and Cons list, the fixed headlight was more beneficial to me. The I think I ended selling my stock light for like 500-600

This is all you need to know about headlights:

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...at-doesnt.html

The bi-xenon projectors shown in this thread are offered on both my SLC V2 fixed headlights as well as the ACA Bi-xenon pop up system. Both are top-shelf performance and an easy install for the DIY mechanic.

Pop up version here:
