Bring that custom modern look to your C5 & C4 with our non-popup headlight system. No longer will you lights be a speed brake for night driving. Our brackets are made out of 60-61 aircraft aluminum with DOT approved low beams. High beams are CATS performance lights. Headlight tubs are made out of Fiberglass with a tough Acrylic molded lens cover. Kit include a heat and moisture reduction fan system.

The installation is very easy, everything comes "pre-mounted". You will need about 1 hour to remove your original headlights, and about 4 hour to 6 hours to install your new headlights giving an original and aggressive look to your C5.

Low beam wattage is total of 130
High beam wattage is a total of 280

This headlamp / head light conversion kit will fit 1997-2004 Chevy Chevrolet Corvette C-5 models, including coupe, convertible and Z06 models ( 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 97 98 99 00 01 02 03 04 ) .

That looks really cool. Don't like that wing on the back of the red car. I have limited budget so spending $1000 + on cosmetic stuff will have to wait. Trying to get performance stuff first

That does look great, I would recommend looking around a bit more. I would bet you can find this kit below a grand.

Headlights look good, personally myself I even don't mind the large wing, what I don't like is the 2 lights cramed in the front license plate whole. :)

Last time I posted on this thread, I didn't even noticed those two headlights cramed in the front plate hole. Nope sorry to the cars owner, not my style. Rest of the car looks fantastic.

Has anyone installed these lights? I've decided to start spicing up my 2004 a bit and doing a few things to the motor and remember this post and was curious how was the install of these lights? NOT the center ones just the headlights? :cheers:

I got mine at Breathless Products in Florida. Taking the old ones out was easy (about an hour). Putting in the new ones was a bit harder and required some small modifications to make them fit well. When your finished putting in the new lights, you might want to put in a piece of carbon fiber to hide the wiring if you show your car.

If you didn't like the wing on the other car you probably won't like mine.
Just found that the only way to post an image is having URL and I don't. This is my first post so I guess you will have to email me and I can send you some pictures.

Great post, answered some questions I had about this kit. FYI there is a Vette Gallery on top right of this site you can upload your photos there. Lets see what you got!

Your call looks great. I ordered a set of these lights, the company sent me the wrong ones. No where near what I had ordered, then they gave me hard time about returning them!! :mad: Finally they took them back, by point I didn't want to do business with them any longer. I will visit Breathless's page. You like the lights?

BTW you can upload photos in the Vette gallery here. Its been awhile since I have uploaded any here but I believe all you need to do is click on the Vette gallery link and there should be on the right hand side towards the top something that says "upload photos".

Thanks for the tip on Breathless.

I'm getting some body work done to my car Monday and was wondering if you could send me some photos of your head lights you installed? I just sent you an email, if you don't mind to send me some larger pics of those lights? Thanks

I picked up a set, yet to be installed a while back from breathless. I personally don't trust most of the companies on ebay. To much garbage there in IMHO.
