P51tj Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Good work there. How is the visibility now? I'm assuming mucho better considering the lovely lights that come with the C5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light is 1000 time better. I'm going to be adding hids to the fogs too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philv Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I wonder how hard it would be to do that to the brights also. then it would look a lot better. I just dont like that opening beside them. but sweet dude. you could use mine for a prototype.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChadC Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 You will want to stay with normal incondessnt lights for High beams for the ability to "flash" Flashing or flickering is very damaging to HID lights and the ballasts. Now who is to say you still cant use a projector housing and put in a 1000watt aircraft landing gear light inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie44 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Nice job! One of the nicest conversions I've seen That is the first thing I noticed when I traded in my C5 for C6 was the real headlights I got in the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the nicest conversions I've seen That is the first thing I noticed when I traded in my C5 for C6 was the real headlights I got in the deal. ya, I really couldn't stand the great stock headlights that came with the car and didnt want frog lights. This seems like a good set up for the meantime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dvl4evr Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Very nice job! I think moving the bigger projector to the inside and a smaller one on the outside would look awesome, assuming you leave it on brights all the time, so both were always on. I don't know too much about the power HID's require. Can you run 4 simultaneously all the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
