There is a C5 in my area with those lights. They actually don't look bad.

That is not a C5. Or even a Corvette for that matter.

I figured it was a joke after your reply. Though those headlights do bear a strong resemblance to Radioflyer's headlights. Paint the shrouds chrome and other than the turn signal, it would be hard to tell it apart.

Also, Radioflyer is expensive for a reason. The HID projector system used is about $250 a pair, so $500 just for the quad projectors.
