I think they look pretty good, actually. ...and I do't even like many appearance type mods.

i think it would look good if you painted the inside plastic same as the body... i dont mind it... but i wouldn't pay that price for em. How much are normal 98+ headlights? CUz i got a 96 and want to convert the front to the 98+.. and if these are cheaper i'll get em cuz i dont mind them at all.

Yes it is pricey but the look is so sick. It is nice to stand out. I love the hideaways too but I rather go the individual path. So in other words the new vette headlights are insane and ugly?

I'm not getting defensive about it either because I have them, they are sweet.

I actually saw a TA with that conversion on the road the other day. Definitely different and an eye-catcher. I like it!

Yeah, so you can spend lots of money fixing them when they break. It's a conspiracy between GM and the mechanic shops.

They are hot. The pop-ups are added weight with plastic gears that'll run you $300 at a dealership to fix if you don't know how. I think they are very good, especially if they could be installed w/ HID bulbs. Much like the C6, it's an upgrade in my book. Just be nice if they didn't run so pricey.
