The post was deleted by the mods. You were probably better off not responding.

I am surprised by the low response to the RadioFlyer promotions.
It is fun to play with the engine and drive-train, and we have done a lot of that; but if you do any night time driving you will appreciate the night and day (pun intended) difference these headlights make.
My wife and I like to participate in many of the benefit shows (Toys for Tots, Vettes for Vets, etc) and often find ourselves driving back home at night. It is tiring to drive for several hours trying to look beyond the light throw of the standard C5 headlights. We tried some changes that gave some improvement to the headlights (HIRs probably being the best "band-aid" we found until we added the RF ACA headlights). As I joked above, there really is a night and day difference in the bi-xenon and anything else we've tried or have seen on other C5s.
I consider the change we made to the ACA bi-xenon lights as one of the best practical changes we have made to our C5!
Cheers! Larry (Route99)

Apologies, I mistook "interest" for pre-commitment. I have updated the original post.

theres no way 11 people are committing in 3 days. You’re better off getting in touch with them and seeing what you can work out.

Hopefully, Radio Flyer will offer a Black Friday special price of $550 plus FREE shipping for the Bi-Xenon ACA Headlights. That's what it would take to get me to finally take the plunge and make the purchase.

Just a word of product support for George and his many lighting options. I went my own way at first thinking in could equal or surpass product quality. I was wrong, had to use George for wiring guidance on my older 99 with HIDs (which he gave me full support despite not being a primary customer) and in the end I went fully with one of his packages for the Luminator and have never looked back. Now, there are some popular and cheap knock offs on FB currently, but they are just that : knock offs, complete with performance issues and not the same quality. Some may be uncertain about the new company title, but with George at the helm you will always get the best product and support.
