Default C5 fixed headlight kit from Sharp Light Innovations

First post - thanks Corvette Forums for helping me find what I need!
I just wanted to share with everyone how pleased I am with my new headlights. Of course I bought the cheapo version first from corvette mods - Not happy with the fit or the HID lights. - By the way they will be for sale on Ebay this week!
Then I researched a little more here on the forum and found the Sharp Light kit - after speaking via email with the owner I decided to buy the kit.
WOW - what a difference - the fit and finish was tedious but very much worth all the hard work. They fit great and look great. The HID kit with BI-LED hi beams is an absolute game changer! I am comfortable driving my C5 at night again!
Happy New Year!

Those look pretty good but I'm stuck in the 90's as I like pop-ups.

They do look like a good fit on the car. Glad you are happy with them.

Those lights are really nice. George's stuff is really top-notch.

That looks good! Can you please elaborate on "tedious"?

I know when the motors for raising the lights go bad, this is the way I'm going.

Look great. Black on red is a nice combo.

Pics from the side?? The “frog eyes” don’t look as tall as I’ve seen on other versions, interested to see what these look like.

These are the least offensive fixed headlights for the C5.

A couple of more recent photos form customers. When I was doing initial measurements. There is a 0.75" max "bulge" compared the factory lens cover.

Have you listed the old lights yet? I'm interested in buying them if the price is right. As much as I love the ones you got, I can't afford them.
Thanks,
Mark
