I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, because I only had about 45 seconds to spend on google. My wife had a honeydo for me.

I didn't do the droopy eye treatment, but I can confirm that George offers high quality gear at a fair price and he is a pleasure to do business with. His bi-xenon setup for the C5 was the cat's whiskers!

every car I saw with that set up looked like crap, gaps and cheap plastic.....I'm sure a lot has to do with the installer but generally speaking that was my experience

Sounds like you have at least a couple of very good vendors and options if you want to change out the headlights. Good luck with the mods.

The biggest issue with the lights pictured is the light source is a mini off-road light bar. The pattern created is not suitable for low beam and the mini-bar itself is angled outward of center line. This means that very little usable light will be thrown down-road.
The biggest challenge with the low-rise headlights is creating a shroud and finding high quality waterproof lights. We sold a version a few years ago that used Hella 60mm projectors, but these were converted halogen projectors. The pattern was acceptable but could be improved. I'm currently researching sealed LED projector options for a new low-profile headlight, however shroud construction remains an issue.
Demand for these lights is not high enough to justify the cost of an injection-molded part (which is how most OEM plastic parts are made) but other production methods are either too expensive for anything more than a one-off prototype. 3D printed ABS did not produce a desirable texture and injected urethane was fragile and required painting since any dye in the material further compromised the already questionable structural integrity.

C5 headlights.... are really bad... best not to drive a GM during the night all.. period... If one must drive at night, take your other car, the not Chevy one. 🤨
