Default non-popup headlights

Is there anyone who makes non-popup headlights for a C5 that are good quality and worth the money. I purchased the lemans style a few years ago and they are junk in my opinion. The lights are dim, they fit the car loosely and are cheaply made. If there are better ones I would appreciate hearing about them.

Thanks

Check Breathless Performance and Radioflyer - they both sell a non pop up system for about $1300. I don't have either system but am looking at them. I like the Radioflyer but it's pretty new and I'm not sure all the bugs are out. The Breathless system uses cooling fans which is something else which can fail. Good luck.

I've tried the depo lights with a HID bulb upgrade and was amazed at the improvement. They're not to hard on the wallet either.
