So after putting it off for a long, long time, I finally got around to putting in my 6000K ACA HIDs from Radioflyer Innovations. All I need to say is HOLY CRAP! So much better. I have a pretty dark tinted windshield and the stock halogens just sucked. These are so much better it's incredible. They are WELL worth the $$. Still need to adjust them but here is a quick pic against the garage at dusk. George gave me great customer service with some questions I had. He got back to me very quickly. I would highly recommend these to anyone with a C5. Thanks George!

I got mine from Radioflyer97 too a couple years ago, & I've really enjoyed them. Also, the great customer support doesn't stop with the purchase and install. I had a ballast go bad a few months ago and George sent a replacement in no time. You can really count on him.

It takes abut 1-2 hrs. If you good at following directions. I have pulled my lights out at least 4 times before I got the aca hid. Took me about 1 1/2 hours. Shorter if read the direction a little bit closer. Hope that helps. Plus on Radioflyer their are installation guides. Well worth the money. A big difference. George is a phone call or email away and is quick to respond.
Install isn't bad, just be careful and keep track of your hardware. I think b/w pizza and beer it took us about 2 1/2 hrs. Taking our time and being methodical.
Phones have auto ISO (automatically adjust the gain based on how much light they see), so the photos aren't going to be super indicative of how well they work, since the phone will compensate for dark/bright photos.
Would recommend using either a proper camera, or at least a phone which lets you lock the exposure in place, to show the difference.
For those interested in purchasing a set of these amazing headlights, the Pre-sale is available here: (inventory expected to arrive near the end of June)
