I've never been a fan of fixed headlights, but those look absolutely awesome.

The RF lights are really pricey, but they look better than the C5R style IMHO.

Your car looks great!

The wheels are CCW SP20A 19's up front and 20's in the rear.

Bump, these headlights are fantastic at night, just drove with them again last night and they work great. Highly recommended for functional reasons.

Just looking at your provided pics it looks like you didn't use the rubber boarder on yours. Do you have any more closeup pics? Damn you covers look glossy like glass! Is there anything special you use. I use mothers plastic polish but yours look great

I love these lights but they seem to have been removed from the website? Anyone else run into this issue? Are these a special order item now?

They are no longer available to my knowledge with the L bar that follows the headlight line.

Ended up mounting them to the headlight chassis instead. Eventually will order another set of shrouds.

The CF looks good on yours, you wrapped them? The only thing I did with the headlights was put an extremely small amount of optimum gloss coat on them while I did the whole car and then clean with meguiars glass cleaner.
Yep 3m dinoc wrapped them has held to the heat very well using 3m primer on all the curves. I originally had painted them but it wasn't holding up well on that plastic and easily scratched them during the install. I may have to look at mounting my weatherstripping a bit lower. I really just followed the indent to mount the weatherstripping. I will also look into that Optimum gloss coat looks like $50 but it would be worth it to look glass-like like yours thanks!

I bought the optimum gloss coat to put on my wife's new car and the corvette. It has replaced opticoat. The stuff works extremely well and really helps from adding new swirls. I applied after correcting my paint this year and saw it said you can use on plastics and gave it a shot. It was very easy to apply, unlike a few stories I heard with opti-coat.

Try putting blue loctite on the vertical adjuster screw.

We're dealing with a manufacturing issue with the main lens. We will return the lights to the website once the issue has been solved.
