- By Far The MOST POWERFUL Headlights For The C5 CORVETTE!
Want to retain factory pop up headlights AND have the visibility and beam pattern produced by some brand new high-end cars on the road today? These Bi-Xenon ACA Projector Headlamps from Sharplight Innovations are your perfect solution.
Check them out here; sharplightinnovations.com/sho...
During my time with the C5 Corvette, I've tested out the various headlight options available for it at different price points. Halogen, HID, LED, you name it. But THESE are on another level, as they are the most powerful headlight option available that keeps the factory pop up look. There's no comparison between these and stuffing an HID or LED bulb into the factory housing. While those have great light output and look pretty cool, they just scatter the light as the housing was not designed for those bulbs. As I've learned today, there's a HUGE difference between lots of light, and lots of quality light strategically spread in the correct places you need to see in the dark.
Again a massive shoutout to George at Sharplight Innovations for hooking me up with these! It's an honor to be able to collaborate with a company with products of this quality and performance. Thanks for the continued support! Check them out at sharplightinnovations.com/

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! czcams.com/video/8AdS9ixET1M/video.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!
@Keanu Rodrigo Instablaster =)
@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.
@Adriel Marley It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my account :D
@Keanu Rodrigo no problem :)
This video will be useful in the future when I get my C5
I've got your future C5 parked in my garage... If interested here's my email address:
HobieBassAssassin@yahoo.com
@@hobiebassassassin9136 here is mine. al.amorin@gmail.com
Dude same
its been a year? have you gotten a c5?
Same here
Good job son! Your CZcams 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 😂
Thanks for saving me $100!! Ordered today and will use this video again for install.
Looks amazing. C5 is gorgeous and these takes them to another level
Great vid. Thanks for taking the time for such detail.
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.
wow what an improvement over stock! Great video!
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!
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.
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. 💯
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!
Do more videos with this Corvette. Specially driving on these roads you presented at night. Huge potential to be a friggin amazing video.
Got my C5 yesterday. For sure installing this..
Thanks for making this video. Now I know what I am ordering for my C5 corvette.
those shots at the end with the music looked amazing 👍👍👍👍
Thanks!!
Couldn't be more pleased with this kit. When I had issues, customer service was excellent.
Good choice, I had the ACA HID headlights and upgraded those to bi xenon using the existing ACA housings.
Great step-by-step, thanks man
Incredible video, man. Imma copy your setup for all lights. Mine is still stock regarding lighting. Thanks for the review
Awesome video! Thanks
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.
Wow.....what a difference....thx for the video!
Would like to say thank you I appriciate your videos. Also have to ask what corner makers you have they look great.
I am SHOCKED! Had no idea they made headlights that well suited for the C5. VERY COOL!
This looks straight up awesome.
I’m getting those right away for my C5 can’t wait! I’m doing many up grades on my 99 Thanks for sharing!😎
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 👏
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.
These lights are at the top of my wish list!
Great video!
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.
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!
Drop the link
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.

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 don’t care for other drivers! Just like corona circus! You stay protected, wear night glasses! Wear a mask! Me I’m good
This really bright great video!
Thanks for watching!
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.
Is my 2002 C5 a 90's model sportscar?
nice video have LED`S now but these are on my list for a true upgrade
Nice job a very worthwhile upgrade
Very worthwhile! Thanks for watching!
I need these!
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 .
LED license plate lights are a must because the lighting upgrades you have done make the factory bulbs look really yellow.
Good video I brought the lights hooked them up they all work but when one headlight goes up the other one goes down any suggestions?
Can you link to the fog lights and corner lights you have as well, please?
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.
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
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.
This would be the #1 mod. for your C5 night vision is so important
easy retrofit and getting a quad high with it nice ide change them projectors out for some morimoto mini D2S and rock oem ballasts
hey man what front lip is that? do you have any cooling issues with it on?
Awesome work how long did the process take if you had to estimate?
Great Job! Thumbs up from me as usual... Stay safe... Rico
The music in your videos are great! Where do you get it?
i've looked at a lot of lights these are the only ones i would purchase
Wow.... looks great and beautiful on the car. Now I'm confused between those and sleepy eyes
I like the sleepy eye headlights.
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?
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
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
What exhaust do you have? Sounds good.
I have Daytona fixed lights... do they make them or is there is another recommendation?
How long is the coupon code good for? It’s not working. I just started shopping for a headlight upgrade. Thanks for the great video
I guess they don't sell these anymore the link says file not found
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?
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.
johny z Haha a couple of us commented the same thing too on the original video.
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...
What color is the vette ? Like a beige silver or silver ?
I don’t drive at night unless I have to. 👍
Great video, although all of this work just to swap headlight housings just makes me want a C6 lol
Where did you get them?
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.
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’m about to change out my headlight assembly. I can’t find the $100. Discount link. Would like to buy a set. Thanks Tony
Your lower foglights are clear with no yellow led? Who makes these fog leds?
Do the headlights fit the 1999 C5 ?
Had these aca headlights for years mow with leds. Cheaper, more energy efficient, longer lasting;)
I live in New Hampshire, I am looking for someone to install these along with fog and drl’s
What was the discount code again?
Make sure you save all parts you take out. You might want to put back at a later time.👍
I couldn't find the code in the description
Projector housings make a major difference. You could probably put LED bulbs in those housings and get a similar quality of beam.
What about for the C4 ?
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.
Sharplight has a LED version of this ACA projector kit I was considering. What's your opinion on them?
I actually just installed them! Check it out here; czcams.com/video/8AdS9ixET1M/video.html
What are you going to do with the old led 👀👀?!?!?
Were is the coupon code
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
Sorry what was the discount code
Did you take sleepy eyes in to consideration? Just curious. But those look hot!
what's the coupon code?
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.
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.
U can order basically the same headlights on ebay for $130 and purchase hid separately for around $100

You seem to be mechanically inclined which is fortunate for you. Not everyone has that ability. Nice job. 👍🏼🍻
I’m going to buy a set on your awesome recommendation…
(2003 50th)
I will tell them you sent me!
Have coupon code by chance?
Lol.. THANKS!
