Not my cup of tea, but here are some pics of various non pop up headlight kits:







I think there is about 4 or 5 makers of various kits.

I have a set of DEPO lights on my C5Z. They are around $400 and thats the type of quality you get. The plastic has small little cracks all in it... And they are less than a year old...the cracks started appearing after having them on the car for 3 monthes. It's not just my car... alot of others have had the same problem as well. The fitment is also not the best in the world. The quality is very poor. It's I could find a good set of non pop up headlights for under $1000... I would get them

The pop-ups are the one thing I wish the C6 had kept.

If I remember right, these are headlights off of an Acura NSX. I think it looks sweet, but if you look at the fender, custom body work is required. If it wasn't.....

I have looked at the depo ones on Ebay. Unforetunately I can't view 'hosted' pics due to my works firewall. I have a black y2k, I think the black depo's would be sweet. Just bought my car- it has the dreaded gear strip. After dealing with this for years with my Trans Am- i am seriously considering the fixed lights for the vette.
