I just installed the Sharpe Innovations BI-LED ACA headlights. All I can say is Wow. I wish I had done this sooner. I would highly recommend this light kit. Everything is just as it should be for a light kit at this price point. This is a case of you get exactly what you pay for. Top notch quality and performance to match. Definitely worth every penny.

Do these headlights blind oncoming drivers on low beam, or do they focus correctly below the blinding threshold? What is the product number? Thanks

This is a Great product. 1911tex there is a very distinctive light line cutoff on the low beams, no problems with on coming traffic being blinded. This set up also comes with great instructions for installation and proper aiming of the beams.
Just another happy customer with no connection to Sharplight Innovations.

I have not had a single driver blink their lights at me when my lights are on low beam. As for adjustment I measured mine and they were spot on strait out of the box.

I have this set as well. GREAT product! They have a very sharp cutoff line, and do not blind other drivers. Also the light isn't scattered like it is when you put LEDs in the stock housing. If you drive your Corvette at night, I highly recommend this.

If you are an old guy like me, and you've been C5 eye burned like me, you'll not drive the C5 with those GM weak-*** headlights without fear!... Fear of not seeing!.. well, the C5 is not to be driven after sunset, IF one must drive at night, drive anything! just not the C5!

With this modification you can enjoy your C5 any time day or night. My lights are as good if not better than my 2022 Telluride.

They are hands down better than the headlights on My 2016 GMC Terrain. I snapped a few pics last night. To clarify, this is actually the Bi-Xenon ACA as I ordered them just before the LED version was offered.

Low beam

High beam
