Non Popup Headlights
I spent an hour or so this morning searching the forums trying to find a good thread about static headlights for the C5 and only really found one that seemed to have good info. However, it's not really serving my purpose. So any help you guys can provide is greatly appreciated. I want to replace my popups with static lights, but don't want bug eye lenses. The main reason I am replacing them is I have damaged my passenger side headlight (completely broken as I hit something with it popped up pulling into a parking space). The assembly is ridiculously priced to replace and I never was a fan of the popups anyway so I am exploring my options.
I would like to get lights that are as close to flush as possible. I have seen the Ikonmotorsports, Breathless, and RF stealthlight cannon v3s and they look like they're pretty good. Are these the best options available or are there others?
Also, do I need any of the existing popup hardware for the static lights?
Last but not least, what's the degree of difficulty for installing any of the 3 options above? I'm pretty handy and do a lot of my own work but have never done anything like this...
Thanks in advance for any help!

I really want to go with the Radioflyers on my C5Z. Yeah, they are pricey but what quality upgrades aren't?
If one of you has them on your car, please post a photo, or two.

Went with RadioFlyer SLC v3 headlights - about 1 month now, look almost completely flush with body. Install was far more involved then the instructions make it seem but they are designed with maximum adjustability, so it depends how picky you are about alignment.
