I got a 1999 Corvette and I'm really wanting to take the factory headlights out and install stationary ones. Anyone got photos of their car done this way I may see?! And what's a good site to find them at? Preferably blacked out or possible halo (I doubt they make halo's for the C5 but just curious)

There are a number of 'cheap' alternatives but the the only one I would consider is 'TheRadioFlyer' period! You get what you pay for, so do it the right way...the first time.

Agree with you Frank....

I tried this and that and was only happy once I went with the Bi-Xenon route. My cars pics are even on RadioFlyers web page under ... Bi-xenon Radioflyer ACA Projector Headlights.... The pics of my Low and High beam in the alleyway are mine....

They're not only the best looking, but also the best performing putting the C6 and even C7 to shame:

I've had these on my 02 for 3+ years.

I have the Breathless lights. The low beams did not put out the light I was wanting so I upgraded to clear euro lenses and HID's. I love the look of them and the radio flyer lights.
