I'm wondering this as well, Is the lighting actually improved? If so how much so?

Yes, definitely an improvement... I'm going from HIDs with stock headlights to these.

Subscribing so I can get more information.1. Who's the vendor?
2. Cost?
3. Were installation instructions included?
4. Can you post some nighttime pictures so we can see the improvement?
I've removed my lights to install new bulbs and also to give more room to install my new HID fog lights, so I've got that part nailed.
If you do a search on these lights then youll find a few night pictures... I currently dont have time to do that.

Yes, we send directions. 3-4 hours the first time is common.
We'll have more ready to ship soon.

Did some quick aim adjustments... More and more impressed with these... the amount of light they give off is amazing.. This is still at dusk.
Low Beams
This is at about 100' out.. the projectors are definitely doing their job.

Totally agree....
My phone camera sucks and it was still pretty light out.. didnt have time to stay out until it got fully dark.. but I was still very surprised how much light they were putting out.
Comparing these lights against stock is like comparing a Ferrari against a V6 Mustang...

I bought my C5 with these already installed so I'm not sure how to replace the low beams. Do I need to remove everything to get the bulbs out?
Edit: Figured out the 4 bolts in front allow the light assembly to pull right out. Swapped the low beam bulb on one side only, reconnected the plugs, and now neither hi or low beams are turning on on both sides of the car. Checked fuse 8/9/10. No issue there. Anyone know whats up?

Were they really $880 without the shroud? Wow!
I wonder how to these compare to the Radio Flyer Bi-Xenon kits for $650?
Gosh I would love better lighting but I was choked up over the $650. I opted for the HIR's with the 4-way harness, which offered a moderate improvement but the low beams are still too dim for comfort.
Man, I need a raise!
