What ???
I just got in from running an errand and did a double take on the way home. I passed a C5 Corvette coming in the opposite direction but was suddenly confused thinking that can't be a C5 Corvette since it had exposed headlights like a C6 only they were square.
I looked in my mirror and confirmed that it definitely was a C5 by the back end and tail lights. Those headlights looked really nice and factory giving the front end and entirely different appearance.
Does anyone know of an aftermarket retrofit kit for a C5 to replace the concealed headlights?

that is the first I've seen of the RF kit...they look great. The ones with the bump do not look so good, in my opinion. If I had a C5, I would put the RF kit on first thing.

It's definitely a popular mod, especially considering how horrible the stock C5 headlights are. It's nearly impossible to drive one at night with other traffic around. Without traffic, it's nearly a must to have the high beam lights on to be able to see the road in front of you. GM did a very poor job on the C5 headlights. The C6 was a great improvement.
