Default new headlights

Im looking to get new headlights. I've been reading some posts on here and som epeople seem to have that housing with the clear galss that has the hid's in it. Is it CG HID Headlamp Light Kit ? Heres the link

http://www.corvettegarage.com/produc...-corvette.html


How do you like them? What K are the bulbs that they come with? do they come with both high and low beams? I like they way these look but i want to make sure they are good before i spend the money for them. Also, where i have factory fog lights. How do i convert htem to hid? all i have to do is get the hid bulb or something? thanks.

Yes, I have these. They are ACA HID kits. Excellent quality
The HID low beams are 4300k.

For more info do a search for ACA in C5 General and you will find many step by step posts

For fogs, just order a $70 ebay HID kit and specify the 881 bulbs. They fit in the factory fog projectors.
You can get 4300k, 6000k bulbs
