Default C5 headlight conversion...

Hi folks, I'm looking to convert my pop up headlights to the stationary submerged HID type with halos and possible choice of halo color.

I've located some in Texas that have everything but halos and I know I could get a halo mod kit....but prefer all in one.
If anyone has a lead...I would be very grateful.
Thanks and enjoy the roads

Check with Radioflyer, a forum member and vendor, he has some of the premier lighting kits for the C5.

I still consider these to be the dream...JW Motoring has them on their website as "out of stock" so I'm not sure if they're still making them. Someday soon I hope.

Thanks, I see Radioflyer has added the halo/angel eyes.
Around 1,300.00...not a bad price.
Heavy sigh...I could do it all myself for 1/2 the price...and 10 hours of work.
I did like the pop ups...but evolving the body.

I haven't heard that but I do know they moved the website or changed the name to JW Motorsports LLC or something like that. I know these are still technically pop ups but I just like how they only open partially to the point where the tops are horizontal instead of pointing up.
