Default custom headlights

Anybody done a custom headlight install in a C3? I'm lokking to do a flush mount of sorts. Maybe a C6 assembly or similar. Anyone know of anything that might work. My car had the square non-flip conv but thats not to my taste. So i had the light openings glassed smooth so i have a clean slate to work with. Now i just need to find some lights that will work. Thanks for any help.

I'm confused, are you looking to do away with popup lights or bring them back? IMHO the C3's don't look good with anything but the popup lights. Those kits that replace them just don't look right.

I was thinking of doing something like this.






This is my car. Notice no lights, and no front liscense plate.

since it looks like your hood slopes kind of the same way as the 4's toward the front, maybe one of the C4 kits might work in there. I think C5 West makes an affordable kit. Just cut some holes in and mount away.
