Glad that you are liking them. Those are certainly a big upgrade over the stock headlights.

do they actually improve night visibility or are they just an appearance upgrade?

Thanks for the post. I've been looking at these lights. I think these are my next purchase once the snow goes away

Glad you like them. I am not sold on the look, but if they significantly improve the lighting over the stock units, it is a great upgrade.

Great lights from what I've heard. I haven't been able to install mine yet, but when the new garage is ready and able to be used they will be getting installed. But that's like 1650 miles away.

Building a garage 1,650 miles away sounds like a retirement plan for you and Grape Ape!!!

Did you do the install?.. Did you locate installer nearby?... Time it takes? Difficulty?

I am very excited, my lights just arrived at my door.
Unfortunately, UPS required an additional $150 for coming north of the border...
Forget the Corvette tax, the Canadian taxes and UPS demands are even worse.
Oh well...

Once you get them installed you will not even think about the extra money. Well worth it !!!

OK, please remind us what kit this is, since I can't keep up with them all.

Spending $350 on a family graduation dinner, fun. Spending $$$$ on some decent C5 headlights priceless.
