Default C5 Fixed Headlamp Options

Hi All,

I've recently been intrigued by the idea of switching over to fixed headlamps. I've seen the ones offered on WCC's website as well as The Stealth Light Cannons advertised on this forum. The only other ones I've found are some JDM looking ones that are cheap and available on ebay. Is there anything else that I'm missing? I'm not really in love with any of these options so far. Thanks for your help!!

The best fixed headlights IMO are the Radioflyers. They cost some $$$ but by far the best. The other fixed headlights make the car look like it has frog eyes/popping eyes. I don't care how you paint them or make them look it still makes the car look odd. If you want some cheaper lights ACA has projectors on ebay for under 240 shipped.

I've seen these ones as well. They look very clean, but I'm most interested in lights that bulge out slightly like the C5R lights.
