    I can’t wait to see the how the finished round lights come out. Thanks for the update videos and all blood sweat and tears you put into being innovative for these older cars. I love my C5 dearly and daily the hell out of it. I also do a good bit of night driving and think these would be a great investment for me.

      Doing the best I can with the resources and to hit a pricepoint thats as affordable as possible. Its all a balance and its tough to keep. Staying small, overhead low in my house...it saves me and the customers money. Now that I see your name I gotta tell me a Boudreaux and Thibodaux joke mext time...lmao

    The rounds look so good! The headlight opening has hard square edges, but the body of the C5 is round and curvy. I think the round likes flow better. Looking forward to when they come out!

    Thanks for the transparent updates. I think both are a great upgrade from original and I'm leaning more towards your original square design. You nailed it with comparing to Bugatti. This is the closest I'll ever be too having anything that remotely shares any DNA with such a car as I'm a peasant C5 owner.
    Cheers to you and many wishes for success!

    So I'm sure you've heard about the other low rise headlight kit that was made and sold through CorcetteForum many many years ago. I've liked my kit and haven't had any problems with the actual hardware or install, however one tjing that was never addressed were the 2 rear stops. I understand your connected stops are designed for your kits, but I would be very interested in buying a set for my setup to minimize the play I couldn't squeeze out of the hardware, that and decrease the headlight bounce. I'll be able to adjust my bracket mounts accordingly so no worries about interference between parts from 2 different kits.
    Overall it's awesome to see your progress, the development and that you're still working on these. I've debated on getting the squares, and now I'm debating on the circles haha. Depending on the shrouds I may spring for one of them. Keep up the great work and know that you're for sure appreciated in the community.

    • @KnightDriveTV
      @KnightDriveTV  2 роки тому

      It will be a tough situation because I can sit my lights lower than those. Also, with the focused hella glass beam, the light will burn the bumper and paint. Youre welcome to try them when I have a surplus, but I suspect theyll be low. I can make you a custom set though actually, as I had that kit and know the height requirements. I still intend to make a bezel for that kit

    I dig it. Always thought the C5/C6 would make a great candidate for 8 to 1 slip fit header collector with Lambo Merci style single center exit tailpipe.

    • @KnightDriveTV
      @KnightDriveTV  2 роки тому +3

      Believe me, I've thought about this exactly, as well. Due to packaging though, itd be a tremendous compromise and project to do it. The shear space they comsume is massive. A 180 degree header would be a more package capable option but an 8-1 LS just sounds ridiculous. That green E30 at sema had that setup and man, that car sounds mean

    • @KnightDriveTV
      @KnightDriveTV  2 роки тому +2

      Yeah, the ZR1's had no provision for the center cap unlike the 88-89 wheels. Base 90 wheels were the same though indeed, except the zr1 had those fatties in the back. I will be telling the ZR1 story here soon. Lace and I flew to buy one cheap, but ended up with a different one. Weird how it happened but...been trying to shoot a unique level of a production for the car to capture the c4 audiences attention. Then once they are looking my way, I start introducing the c4 headlight kit. All part of the master plan...lol

    Always been a George Argel customer from RadioFlyer / Sharp Light Innovations, but I've been following owner experiences on the forum and fb pages and you've got a solid product. I know I've looked at pricing before, might have to look again for the round kit and do a comparo. I dig the sleepy eye and run George's version of that currently with dual projectors. But I do love my night driving and if I can add more lumens in the same space that may be the way to go at some point.

    • @KnightDriveTV
      @KnightDriveTV  2 роки тому +1

      George sent me emails from an old email address, requesting CAD drawings, lumen output, and lied stating he was an interested customer seeking details...clearly deceptive of his identity...I have the emails if anyone wants to see them. He sent it from an old radioflyer email address I had saved in gmail. I called him out in the response email asking why he was acting like a customer, when in fact I knew who he was. I ran and bought his products yrs back but now I see how he does R&D....same as the chinese do r&d I suppose.
