Default Help - Headlight, Turn signal, Side marker Replacement

I’ll be getting my C5 out of storage soon and have a laundry list of things I want to start working on. One of the initial wants is looking to replace all of the outside lights (headlights, fog lights, turn signal markers, side markers, tail lights, brake light). My C5 is black so I’m considering blacking out everything or going smoke colored but considering all options. Who has some recommendations on what to consider or reviews on what you have used? Thanks!

ACA Bi-LED headlights rock. A little pricey but they work. I am not a fan of smoked or blacked out lights, but that's me! Something about those 4 red lights across the back I just like. I use the Vette lights on my rears, side markers and DRL's and they have held up nicely.

Be sure to include a Hyper-flash module on your shopping list when moving to LEDs.

I have Vette Lights on all the back lights, I for one love the smoked look on a darker colors. For the front lighst I went with KnightDriveTV. I have the front LED markers and his new low rise LED headlights. I am currently waiting for the weather to get a little warmer to install the headlights. Suppose to be cold again this weekend and possibly have more snow coming in Tuesday afternoon. So I keep waiting.

I have Vette Lights products on my C7 and they look good and work very well. Others mentioned above also are good choices.
