Same thing? Naaaa.

What makes it different

01

Customizable DRL

An RGB daytime running strip wraps the housing. Pick any color: amber, ice blue, red, purple, or mix them.

02

Fully codeable

Our pattern editor ships with startup animations like Startup draw-in, Center split, Comet ignite, Pixel rain, Heartbeat and Scanner wake. Or build your own.

03

Four bezel designs

Choose the DRL outline that fits your build, from a clean underline to a full wrap-around frame.

04

Real high & low beams

Three bi-LED projector modules per side with active cooling. Actual usable light, not just a look.

Where we're at

Roadmap

  1. Prototype Housings designed and printed, projectors and DRL running, pattern editor built.
  2. Creator testing Small batch to real owners for feedback and content.
  3. Refine Fitment, beam pattern and DRL tweaks from tester feedback.
  4. Launch Limited production run. Email list gets first access.
Who we are

Two brothers. One C5.

We wanted sleepy eyes that actually looked different, and lit the road properly. So we designed our own housings, wired in real projectors and wrote our own DRL software. After the first video blew up, we decided to build a small run for other C5 owners.

Questions

FAQ

Can I buy them yet?

Not yet. We're in the testing phase. Join the email list and you'll be first to hear when build slots and pricing are announced.

Which years does it fit?

We're designing for all 1997–2004 C5s. Testers help us confirm fitment across body styles.

Are they street legal?

We're working toward it, but early units are sold for off-road / show use. Lighting laws vary by state and country, so check yours.

Do the pop-ups still work?

No. The sleepy eye design sits fixed in the down position, so the pop-up motors are no longer used.

How do I program the DRL?

The strip is addressable. Our pattern editor has a library of startup animations and colors, and you can code your own. More details on the controller are coming soon.

How does the creator program work?

Selected creators buy a set at our cost, install it, post about it and give honest feedback. See details and apply.
