Default headlights frog eyes vs flush mount

which one do you all prefer?

this is a little ways off for me since luckily my pop ups work perfectly and I have a ton of other things to do so I have some time but as of now I am stuck on which one looks better....

...opinions?

Stock is good for me. The aftermarket ones all look ... aftermarket. Not horrible, but nothing worthy of change.

radio flyer is what i had in mind when I mentioned flush mount headlights.

I have never been a fan of pop ups and going HID is a necessity not only in function but to generally put some modern touches on the car so it can benefit from the advancements made since it's inception.

It is just my preference in regards to how I like to modify my own vehicles; to retrofit newer things onto them.

here is a reference below....hard to believe they are the same year but eventually the Z06 will follow in a similar path although with less body modifications.

It's hard to get good light in the flush mounts, with out them protruding up almost as hi as the stock popups. If you really want great night vision, Raido's Bi-xenon package is about as good as it gets. Mine are better then the xenon's our Audi has, and as good as the Range Rovers. He's mix of the xenon and halogen Hi's are like having driving lights.

Mark.

after a bit of deliberation I think I like the flush mount light better. Thanks for the input everyone!

In the picture above, I prefer the clean, slick look of the Corvette.

I like the look of the flush mount. Just not for $1400. I really hate the bubble headlight look.
I say if the flush mount was $800 from RF then I'd be on it. Idk who else sells similar.
