Headlights
Good day. l know this is going to ruffle some C5 purists feathers but here goes. Can l get some opinions on who makes the best Euro conversion headlight kit for the C5?
Thank you in advance and let the bashing begin!

I have the radioflyer bi-xenon as well. I think this is a better option. It allows me to have great visibility at night while still having the flip up headlights.

Thanks for the input guys. l just am looking to move away from the flip up lights not entirely due to the fact l will admit l do like the looks of the C6 up euro style headlights, but on my current
Z06 set up both headlight motors are malfunctioning or not working and they are the aftermarket, not worthy of rebuilding junk. Not only that one of the actual headlight covers is broken so that would need replacing (perhaps painting as well) also. l'm looking at this from a $$ perspective as well. So lf l were to keep the factory pop up lights, l would need 2 factory headlight motors, two brass gear rebuild kits, and on headlight cover and paint. Using all factory Chevrolet parts, no China junk, this will be anywhere from $400-$600 depending on a few factors. l can get the euro style for much less. l just checked the Radioflyer versions. Very nice indeed. According to their website they are however 45 days out and are lacking some materials due to
redistribution for CV 19. l dont really want to wait this long. UGH

Wow, those 4eye lights look very mean. l like. But........they still do use the original headlight motors, correct? So if l were to get these, l'd still have to purchase two new headlight motors and
headlight cover as well.
headlight cover as well.
