I just still don't care for them. My favs are still the C4 style flip overs.

I really like them on the C6 and especially on the C7. Not on the C5.

I think they look very good - way better than some of the fixed lights I have seen on a C5.

Agreed! It gives the C5 a modern look. However, I think the halos push it over the top with the big block LEDs right above them.

Best fixed lights i have seen but thus far i have never preferred them to the flip ups. If I saw more angles of those then perhaps???

I just think they interupt the intended hood and front end look of the C5, though as MSG stated, not as much interruption on the C6.

I'm assuming you would need a modified hood, front fascia, and quarter panels? There's no turning back after that mod lol. Looks cool though, definitely better than frog eyes
