Default C5 Corvette Clear Headlights Question

Hey guys, I'm looking to install clear headlights on my C5, but they are pretty pricey right now.. So I was thinking of installing some from top gear and also putting in HIR for both low and high beam..

So my question is - Has anybody bought some of the clear lenses from top gear or ebay and gone this route?

I really like the look of the Epartsgogo headlights. I wish radio flyers looked like that. I'd rather have a very stealth looking upgrade.

Frankly I don't want any HALO BS. Looks so cheap and wrong era for the car. Just give me a headlight housing suitable for HID or LED bulbs.

So 5000 HID lamps,for low/high beams and bi-xenon highs don't work for you. There is no halo involved. (I agree there is no need for them).
