Default C6 headlights on a C5?

Has anyone seen or heard of using C6 headlights on a C5? I dont like the pop up style lights on my C5 Z06 and was wondering if anyone has tried it. Just a thought...

Fixed headlights on a C5 have already been done. There's an individual who makes kits and does GPs on them, but I don't believe he's a vendor here.

Someone did a set over on Corvetteforum.com and they looked horrible. There are a handful of flush mount kits that look pretty good. TheRadioFlyer makes a set called Stealth Light Cannons. They are pretty good.check them out

I haven't seen any of the flush mounts that I care for. I haven't seen the c6 ones but can't imagine they would be much better on a c5. I suggest just driven with the lights off. Or buy a c6.

Yeah now that I see all the kits I'm leaning toward stock. I pulled the heavy motors and light assembly out to save the weight and now i am just going to build a bracket to hold on the painted cover so you cant see in the holes. Maybe I will just put some HIDs in the front liscence plate area and call it good.
