Specter Works and Breathless Performance. Be ready to blow lots of $$ on a load of crap. It's not worth the money IMO. I don't get how soo many ricers can do custom retrofits of other headlight units and make them fit very well, but two companies can't make a kit that looks like something more than a high school shop project...and not a very good one at that.

Do some searches behind the Breathless lights on here. There are quite a lot of members who'll tell you to just forget it and stay w/ popups.
And its not hard for ricers to do that stuff to a 15k car. They mess it up, they sell it as a GSR, TypeR or SiR and make $$$ back on it. Its hard to sell a C5 as a C5R when everyone knows they arent street legal lol.

I forgot to mention that there's a company in Sweden or some other Euro country that sells a decent looking nonpopup kit. It is completely flush and it puts decent light on the road, both unlike the American kits. Only problem is with the conversion rates, it costs $3,000. If only I could find the thread again...

Here's the link to the Swedish site that sells a different nonpopup kit:
http://www.corvettetotal.ch/site/centerframe.asp
The price is around $5,000. I think their lights might actually be by Callaway. I'm waiting to hear back from Callaway about this, and if they'll sell them direct for a better (MUCH BETTER) price.
