Yes I made the mounting plate out of three 1/4" thick aluminum parts screwed together to offset the lights, see picture #5; they are painted black. Here is link to the light supplier, http://www.theretrofitsource.com and http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/forum.php.

Radioflyer has a harness that makes the switchback DRL white while still having amber turn signals.

Wow, impressive work here. Likely beyond my skillset, but impressive none the less.

Headlights

While "Dreaming' about Radio Flyer's ANGRY EYES", I stumbled on these from Breathless on Craigslist for "CHEAP".
Bought 'em..
Can't wait to get them installed.

Oh, I AGREE totally, Radio Flyer "Angry Eyes" is my "Perfect" Light setup for the C5...
But while I dream of them 'someday', due to 'Priorities', I pick up a set of $1,400.oo Headlights for ~ 20 % of what they sell for????

Damn Straight. Done Done and Done.

I'm telling you Art you should just sell me the breathless lights and put that towards your dream setup. My car is black and will match perfect. Just kidding. If you decide to go for radio flyers let me know and I will take those of your hands. Going to look a way better than the bug eyes.
