They are very small and should be able to work with a flush lens with no bugeyed bulge.
I purchased the Radioflyer SLCs

No frog/bug eyes with those lights, and they're properly-projected HIDs too

I ordered some Depo's today, and an HID kit for the lows. I looked at the wiring and I am wondering how the single HID bulb can be connected using the large connector, as well as the halogen high beam bulb. Is this still plug and play, using the plug that comes with the Depos? Wasnt sure if the Depos have separate plugs or just the one large connector. Ive installed many HID kits before, just cant visualize this setup. I know someone has to have done this, thanks for any help!

"It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning." Don't forget to double clutch and hit both NOS buttons at the same time.

What a shame to ruin a beautiful silver C5 like that.

I wish there was a stuck up middle finger emoticon on here. That said, I am still loving my DEPOS months later after starting this thread.

They would definitely look better if they were color matched silver... the chrome just draws too much negative attention to them.
