Default New KnightDriveTV headlights

Just put them in today. Love the look and the low rise compared to stock. Really well built kit and easy installation following the installation video.

Thanks for the comment guys. Right now things are moving as best they can. Having a number of issues keeping supply of bolts, certain connectors and then the stream of lights. Everything is "ok" but delays are causing small setbacks here and there. I've got orders for a lot of material though, so I'm only mainly exposed to shipping delays, not so much all out supply issues. For now, I'm building about 40-50 kits/wk, out of my house. My gf Lace runs the shipping stuff, then my brother and one other guy do assembly/wiring, while I run machines and do development on some upcoming things. Just a small deal, trying to keep overhead low and keep the business small and just design and create some unique products. I have many things in the works that will reshape C5's in many ways....all products with new appearance, new flavor, etc....a long time coming if you ask me. I wanted to start this years ago, but moving around the country kept resetting my situation. When Covid began/lockdowns began my other business quickly went under, so I figured it was now or never. It's been a tough year to get everything running and in place but...going well now and looking forward to releasing next products soon.

I'll be doing some very interesting things ahead on the channel that no one has done with C5 or really anything else that I've seen on youtube so...looking forward to that. Step 1 though, have to 3D scan the entire car....which is a bit of a learning curve for me, as I've not scanned anything that large. Little at a time...lol. When I was hanging out with Dick Guldstrand in 2011, I was telling him about some things I wanted to do. He was all about it, and said go for it. Took me another 10yrs to find the right timing and position but...we'll see what comes ahead.

can't you just clip your original bezel back on and at least cover the sides?

Saw one guy who did that:



I have a set of bezels here I've been thinking about cutting up, but it's such a minor thing I've just not bothered.

Are you able to close the headlights or do they stay open at all times?

When they finally get around to adding a set of load resistors so your not flicking on the high beams to close properly I will order immediately….I just don’t see why I would have to add more parts to make them function as they should there cheap and on a manufacturer level the resistors should only cost a little bit to throw on. Just my opinion. I like the lights would consider buying I’ll ask for a discount for the load resistors and my time to make it function at the switch just like factory. They are a nice looking light though …

you have to get some screws back in. One of them is now hidden as the light now doesn’t come up far enough. You could possibly disconnect the armature and raise it up so you can put the screws back in. I plan on messing with it a little more once I’m know I’m happy with the aiming of the lights
If Damian will be getting his new bezels out shortly I may not even bother but I’m interested to see if I can get them on.

Mine aren’t flickering on high so far plus I don’t know if it’s because I already have the hyper flash unit installed but mine go up and down in high or low beam.

2011 stock C6 Grand Sport wheels. 275 on the front and 305 on the back to reduce the tire poke. They look really good in person. Also have the same set up in C6Z rims in competition gray

He said last night he wants them out ASAP so I plan on just waiting unless I’m bored one day but I have coilovers and seats to do next

Those really do look different. Good to see some new products still being produced for the C5.
