Pop up headlight LED?
Does anyone make a pop up headlight LED? Been searching for it, nothing pops up. I have noticed that they call it projector. love my headlights just want them to look like newer vehicles. They don't even make a halo anymore from what I have found. Maybe I can spark a interest if there is no one that knows of a pop up LED or even Halo.

OP, this is the way to go!!! I did this last year & the light diff is HUGE!! I used a different vendor, but I got this same product above, Quick Z06 will take care of you!!

They are pretty easy to install. I've done it a few times so I can do it in under an hour. Here's a link with pictures etc.

These are the led high beams they are white instead of the yellow looking stock style bulbs, I would post a pic at night but they are so bright it's hard to get a good picture.

High output LED bulbs are great for high beams, but there are three problems with using them for low beams in the C5:
1) The headlight control module looks for an amperage draw/drop when the headlights are turned on/off in order to cycle the headlights up/down. With low output HID and all LED kits, the headlight control module will not open/close the headlights. (Some companies offer a headlight resistor which essentially converts 50w of power into heat....which is in my opinion a fire hazard)
2) LED bulbs typically do not produce the sharp patterns needed for a quality low beam. While tremendous strides have been made in focal length, centralized LED arrays etc to get a truly appropriate pattern, you need a headlight designed for and with LEDs.
3) The folding mechanism of the C5 headlights and the fact that most high-output LED bulbs have large active cooling systems attached to the bulb make them a clearance problem when installed in the low beam location.

I saw the post - "We sell the kit for $265 shipped. I know it's not LED, but it's HID" and got excited about the price. I then saw that its from 2014 (thanks mrmagloo!)
The only replacement headlight assembly I see is the $650 set on Radio Flyer - unless I've missed something....
