Default WTF headlights!?!

I've never seen these before. It appears they removed the pop ups all together and filled the area in on the hood. I think I hate it, but I'm not sure.

It's better than the frog eye lights (whatever they are called).

I think it looks ok (not great)

Interesting. I don't hate it, but it's not really a C5 anymore?
I get now why people don't like BSM's though, really don't look nice on a white car.

I agree. You cannot even see a hood line on the passenger side. They blended the fender with the hood.

It might be somewhat better if they hadn't extended the cutout above the bottom hood line seam. That long upper cutout extension is just weird.

Might look better (to me) if they were not so elongated and the cover material not looking so yellow. Certainly not an improvement on the pop ups.

Give them credit for thinking outside the box, but I'm not a fan either. I bought the radio flyer stealth cannon headlights a few years ago, and while their performance is everything I wanted, I wish the 'luminator' low rise headlights had been available at the time. I like the popup look.

Definitely looks like a photoshop, not an actual mod
