Default C3 Headlights in a C5?
I probably already know the answer to this, but was wondering if C3 headlights would fit into a C5 setup?
Yes, I know there are aftermarket setups that are kind of close to the round C3 look, but I really love the OEM C3s.

No, OEM C3 lights would not fit in a C5 without some MAJOR modifications. Sorry.

Just my opinion, but the new light options available for the C5 would probably be a much better option than putting in lights from the C3 era.
