I didn't think these lights could get any better, but turns out they can! Here is an updated video on upgrading these headlights to even BRIGHTER bulbs! ua-cam.com/video/8AdS9ixET1M/v-deo.html
i guess im randomly asking but does someone know a way to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my login password. I would love any help you can offer me!
@Adriel Marley i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Good job son! Your UA-cam production is sick. Step-by-step instructions, drone shots, POV views and even leaving in the dropped wrench scene because we all know how much we love when that happens. You obviously spent a lot of time on this and the vendor is lucky to get this kind of advertising. Whatever they paid you was probably not enough. Thank you for this content.
I was laying down getting ready to go to bed I started thinking about my c4 and how the headlights flip up by the switch and i started to smile and continued too smile for 5 minutes I swear I've never felt so much joy 😂
I just installed a set of these in my C5. They are amazing! They also come with the bulbs installed now. You also don't have the ballast either anymore!
I gotta say, you’re a natural at this. I don’t know what you do for a living, but if I were you, I’d look for some sponsors to do this. And give reviews on Corvette products, shoot, maybe Chevy will catch on and make you the face of their online advertising campaign. If they were smart, dude, they would.
Looks nice. I went a different route for my headlight upgrade, but it's the end result that matters. Trying to get any good beam pattern from the stock housing is worthless. Rotating the motor by hand is the easiest way that I found to get that arm back in the slot. Also, taking out the painted headlight cover screws located in the back is easier with the headlight is down. I hope you won't be kicking yourself a little later for not changing out the headlight motor gears while you had that all apart (if they haven't been done already) Keep up the good work!
I just went with the Ebay version of the C5 projector lamp housings with the Halo ring - which cosmetically look identical for $200 - and then the HID bulbs with 55watt ballasts from HIDextra.com @ approx. $70. Totally happy with the setup, looks awesome and is plenty bright for nighttime driving. www.ebay.com/itm/FOR-97-04-CHEVY-CORVETTE-C5-HALO-PROJECTOR-HEADLIGHTS-LAMP-SMOKE-LENS-LEFT-RIGHT/202346502227?fits=Model%3ACorvette&hash=item2f1cca9853:g:W7EAAOSwSw5bKp4z
I put a set of these headlights in my C5 a few years ago. They are the best investment I've made for that car. Like you, I tried every thing else and there is no comparison. These are simply the best headlights you can put in a C5.
I've had these since 2018. Love love love them! Wish your install video was up before I paid a stereo shop a lot o money to install them! Great job on the video. I highly recommend these headlights.
Glad you took other drivers into consideration, many don't and don't realize how dangerous they make it for them and the other driver. Bad headlight mods can cause head on collisions.
I installed my ACA when it’s first came out $1200.00, in 2006? I used Philip HID bulb and ballast and still going on strong at present time. Philips HID on low beam and fog lights.
As always a great video on a great looking car! I also saw a mod for Brass headlight motor gears, was wondering if you had that already done on your car. As much as we all love watching you take apart your headlight housings AGAIN, lol. I've been looking for a good deal on a C5 for a little bit, and maybe I'll just buy yours when you're done with it. Keep up the great work! LATA!
I'm glad I found your channel bro 👍 I need these. I modded High beams to go in the low beams and they're better than stock but this is so much better. 💯
You have no idea how many days or weeks I been looking for such a headlights! finally Your video popped up on google search results! Great video! Great headlight I'm going to buy them and thanks!
an amazing upgrade. the C5 is a stunning car and has aged gracefully, and in terms of performance still holds its own. an iconic 90s sportscar, and a symbol of Americarna. greetings from germany.
The ACAs are def the nicest pop-ups but with the halo tail lights... should have went with the RadioFlyer C5R non pop ups with Morimoto projectors... def the nicest headlight gor the C5 hands down...
Just had projectors installed today the bulbs burnt the lens and housing under a minute. Can you tell me why. And it was from professionals well body professionals
Thank you for introducing me to Sharplight Innovations, while my bank account may not be quite so enthusiastic as I am about the upgrade I'm sure in the long run when I'm cruising the darkened roads of Maine and not hitting moose, deer, bear and any other fuzzy butts which may be wandering the streets at night it will be well worth the short term pain.
I am running through your C5 videos and what a joy, my ONLY complain is I just wanted the car to be a C6. Could you be so kind and next buy a C6 Z06 and give it the same overhaul as this nice and functional working and looking C5. About the HID bulbs and led yes you are spot on you want the correct reflectors behind the bulb. About the ballast, the manufacturers want them to be mounted in front of the radiator if possible to keep them cool. Big thanks .
Amber drl's are where it's at. I remember seeing the c5 rolling for the 1st time and the amber drl's gave it a really gnarly presence imo. Definitely getting these style headlamps though. They are a necessary and perfect upgrade and give it a very fitting and current apperance without looking custom or ricey. I have the same color as yours and going to perform most of the mods you've done so far. They are just tasteful and keep the car mostly authentic. Great job 👏
Outstanding video and presentation. Very through. Just purchased a C5 and these head lamps will be installed as soon as I receive them. Keep the great content coming.
No that is how they are supposed to be. The driver's side low beams are always cut off lower so it doesn't blind oncoming traffic. This is how all factory headlights are designed and good quality after market should be as well.
CMJ115 each projector has a cutoff that’s not a flat line, it’s lower for not blinding oncoming drivers on the left and then transitions to higher to able to reflect signs to the right of the road. That upper line is what I’m talking about should line up. If you look at any new car from the factory or dealer, you’ll see this is the case.
Got these a couple months ago, huge improvement! Even if they put out the same amount of light as the stock ones, they simply look badass and I still would have got them! lol
Just installed mine, and the drivers side low beam won’t come on :(. Wiring is all correct i checked it a bunch of times. Think the lights may be faulty. Anyone else have that issue or have any recommendations?
Sir I love your Channel always makeing that Vette lookj out standing I really like your Turn indicators/ DRL what models are they and are they from Sharplight? Could you send the model number for those lights they are smoking I have a 2004 C5 also ways looking for new proven mods you have the best ch for C5's Thank you so much The C5 corvette has I think the best lines of all the vettes Thank you again always watching your projects.
Installed these headlights along with the halo lights. Now I don't have dashboard lights, no turn signals in my halos. Also my headlights don't want to go down now
What’s the best way to adjust the beam level to get them even? I recently got a c5Z that had these headlight already installed and they’re not level at all. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Thanks first and foremost for the vlog. Just acquired a 2003 with the same lame stock headlights. Too nervous to DIY. How much would a qualified shop charge to install and properly align you think?
not that you are going to acknowledge when I called you out for putting HID's on stock headlights, and told you to do this, but now you are doing it right.
They look Great, I question how long that 3m sticky will last. I only drive my c5 in the dark when I take it to work. Not often enough to justify a $600 upgrade with no performance gain. Just my opinion.
GTR lighting is expensive but worth every single penny.I put them in my 2000 SS Camaro and when people pass me they cut their brights on before they even get past me.They light up night like day.$240 for the low beam led bulbs but worth every penny.
phenomenal video. As far as the video itself, maybe don't make the volume difference between elapsed time music and your speaking so great. You would be explaining things and then all of a sudden the elapsed video would begin and the music during that time was extremely loud lol. I have a huge sound system so it was a big difference. Great video otherwise. I am excited to put these on my Z06
I like the look and how much light it throws out but not for me being I rarely drive my C5 at night time. My ‘99 Coupe with an original 37k miles on it is more of a Collector Car today so this is not a important mod that I feel I need to do.
I know that these work well but I think low rise projector setups like Sun Guns, 4eyeC5, etc. look significantly better, and of course create much less drag, while not being a fixed setup that doesn't belong on the C5.
same i put low beam led's and they are great. I dont see how i functionally need any more. And if i really need those high beams I can still use the oem ones fine.
Your car is beautiful. And, the headlights look amazing. But, this new comment search thing is terrible !!! Wow, it's so hard to look for comments now. Wow
I like the look of the product, and the more powerful beam that it put out. But having to use double sided tape to secure the ballast in place doesn't inspire confidence. I would prefer hardware that mounts more solidly with screws/bolts of some kind. As time wears on, and heat takes its toll, the adhesive that holds this securely will break away.

LED license plate lights are a must because the lighting upgrades you have done make the factory bulbs look really yellow.
Good choice, I had the ACA HID headlights and upgraded those to bi xenon using the existing ACA housings.
I would have lost 3 screws and a tool in the first five minutes. Holding my breath while you take it apart. Congrats. Looks great.
question...I was reading that LED bulbs tends to be brighter and last longer than HID bulbs. where do you buy the bulbs to replace the HID bulbs
Wow.... looks great and beautiful on the car. Now I'm confused between those and sleepy eyes
Incredible video, man. Imma copy your setup for all lights. Mine is still stock regarding lighting. Thanks for the review
What about for the C4 ?
I am SHOCKED! Had no idea they made headlights that well suited for the C5. VERY COOL!
Great vid. Thanks for taking the time for such detail.
hey brother what splitter do you have, i cant justify spending over 200$ and just looking for an ebay splitter with good airflow
I guess they don't sell these anymore the link says file not found
Do the headlights fit the 1999 C5 ?
why the pop up head light mechanism not working symmetry after u changed your new lights?
Muhammad Akmal he needs to aim them. The cutoff should line up.

Your lower foglights are clear with no yellow led? Who makes these fog leds?
The same manufacturer as the headlights. They have a variety of light mods for various Corvette models.
nice video have LED`S now but these are on my list for a true upgrade
I like the sleepy eye headlights.
This would be the #1 mod. for your C5 night vision is so important

Cheaper and easier just to put LED's in the stock housing. Auxbeam is what I went with ~30 bucks.
same i put low beam led's and they are great. I dont see how i functionally need any more. And if i really need those high beams I can still use the oem ones fine.
Where did you get them?
The music in your videos are great! Where do you get it?
Your car is beautiful. And, the headlights look amazing. But, this new comment search thing is terrible !!! Wow, it's so hard to look for comments now. Wow
Projector housings make a major difference. You could probably put LED bulbs in those housings and get a similar quality of beam.
I like the look of the product, and the more powerful beam that it put out. But having to use double sided tape to secure the ballast in place doesn't inspire confidence. I would prefer hardware that mounts more solidly with screws/bolts of some kind. As time wears on, and heat takes its toll, the adhesive that holds this securely will break away.
I don’t drive at night unless I have to. 👍
i've looked at a lot of lights these are the only ones i would purchase
Make sure you save all parts you take out. You might want to put back at a later time.👍
