I think this is why the C5 will always be a fav; last bastion for the pop-ups.
And, the C5 was the first Corvette into modern design; hydroformed frame, rear transaxle, very aerodynamic, LS1/6... |

Had a C5 and liked the looks of the lights but they were so poor compared to modern LEDs or even the C6 HIDs. Recently totaled our Acura with LEDs and looking for a replacement. Will not buy a car without them now.

They also add weight. That was one of the considerations on the C6. It wasn't just a styling decision.

Had I not lost the lights 20 years ago to some damn deer at night, I would have put the rectangular bulbs in the car now, mounted forward and hole smaller by some 50%, they be in the OEM flip up's maybe modified, but only pop up about 1/2 as far.....

I believe that Tadge referred to them as "air brakes".
That being said they're super cool on C5s |

I was never a fan of the C5. Hate the rear view. Love the C6 styling, and yes, love the C4's. Had five of them so far. C6 will likely be the next Vette.

I really liked the C5 all around and loved that they were the last of the hidden lights.....I wish I could have kept it but things change.......as long as the new owner is happy with it that's great.
