Bringing it back from the dead. I just installed a true drop-in kit in my 2001 Z06. I just wanted to say that it kicks so much ass. I went on the vette forums and most people were simply happy with the drop in kits. After seeing some pics with them it was apparent that the hot spots weren't bad and the beam pattern was like having a normal halogen setup but just brighter. I spent 300 bucks on the kit that was plug n play and there is a world of difference. Nobody high beams me when they drive by, and there is no glare when i go to the front of my car and look at it. Cops dont ever look twice when i pass by them.

I went to the mountain runs with my friend who has an S2k and they supposedly have one of the best HID setup. Well let me just say it's garbage when you're in the twisties. That whole "sharp cutoff" hype to me is absurd. The light cuts off exactly where i need to see the most. And you turn on his high beams and it's no different cause they are pale yellow and they point towards the middle. The only way it is justified to have that cutoff is if you have a bi-xenon setup, where your HID high beams can take over and actually light up the rest of the road.

Granted for some cars the beam pattern is really bad and can be dangerous, but to be 100% honest i like this setup best. By luck the C5 headlight housings do well with the drop in kits.
