Has anyone seen these installed or installed them themselves?

1500 bucks for headlights?

 

I would take a fantastic week vacation in Mexico and have my beautiful Corvette with the stock hideaway headlights, plus the skin on my knuckles for $1500-! Good idea.

 

But to answer your question, no.

 

In that picture they look pretty good. Most of the ones I've seen have that frog eyed look to it. Sorry, just can't do to a C5.

 

Ridiculous what aftermarker headlights run for the c5. Never seen such crazy prices on any other car I've ever owned.

 

'Radioflyer' is your friend!

You can get cheap ones too. I have no experience with them, but they exist as low as $300

Yeah, it's a lot. Most of the non-frog-eye lights are easily $1000+

Yeah I can't do the frogeyed ones either. Which is why I was inquiring about these -- in the pictures they don't look frogeyed and for the price you'd think they wouldn't be, but I wanted some more details if possible.

If you'll notice in the avatar, I already have radioflyer's SLC V3s. I'm looking for alternatives.

Those are the terrible frogeyed ones, or at least that's what it appears they are.


Anyone have any more pictures or information on them?

 

are you thinking about selling the slc v3s?

 

The kit shown by the OP is the Breathless Performance LeMans kit.

Our SLC V3 follow the same lens contours, but also provide shatter-resistant lenses, superior Bi-xenon projector optics (providing nearly 10 times as much illuminated area than factory), a more contoured look to match the C5's lines and are more than $300 less expensive.

Thanks Radioflyer. I have the SLC V3s so I know what they look like. The biggest issue I have with my SLC V3s is making the lenses align with the shroud perfectly without looking ... off. I aligned the headlights without the shroud correctly (major pain, the first locking nuts you sent with the kit locked onto the bolts, had to wait to get more). The gasket/weatherstrip around each bulb housing ends up being outside the the shroud. Taking the lens on and off constantly followed by the shroud kept messing up the weatherstripping not to mention scraping the paint in front of the headlight. It got to the point where it looked good enough at a glance so I left it, but anytime I get close enough I realize that it could be much better, but the thought of having to take it apart multiple times again sends me into mental agony. One of the bulb housings is touching the lens and has rubbed a white mark on the inside of it but I can't seem to get the bulb housing back any further without upsetting the bulb end sticking out. One of my lenses tends to dip forward some, so there's a gap at the front. The kit came with some things hold the back down which holds the front up, but trying to put them on after everything else was installed was pretty much impossible, so I just use the hood to hold down the lights. I'm not trying to badmouth you or your products, as you've treated me plenty well in our dealings and I have plenty of your other lighting products, but for the money I just wish the SLC V3s had a bit more of a polish, both in final product appearance and installation process.

 

You and me both.

 

Those are Spectre Werks headlights I believe...I'm just not sure if I can get used to a rectangular bulb look on a C5.

 

If you want that go buy a C6, we will stay here and enjoy the last hidden headlight Vette. The C5 is a timeless style.

 

Thanks, that was insightful. I guess I shouldn't modify anything on it since it's so timeless.

 

I wouldn't even change the oil if I were you. It's worth more if you keep it all original.

 

 

I've had and still have the exact same problems and more with my SLC V3's still haven't got the car wet since I put them in because im affraid they will leak and ruin my expensive a$$ lights... personally I think I'm done messing with the C5 and these rediculously over priced aftermarket kits that don't fit right. I'll just save up for a C6.

 

Negative, the SW lights look like the Depo but with 8 visible bolts holding the lens to the shroud.

I have run the V2 for near 2 years and now the V3 and have had no problems driving in rain or washing. If you're having trouble getting correct fitment, please email me what you're looking at and I will do my best to help. (radioflyer97@gmail.com
