Thanks are in order to "Maxx_Z06" for the new to me JW Halo Modded Tails and JW Motoring for one replacement Halo Taillight and for producing an extremely high quality product with excellent customer service to boot!

The install was a breeze and MAN are they bright! They really add an awesome updated appearance with the LED corners, tails and HID's.

Could you please tell me all the parts I need to make my headlights like yours and the vendor to use? Mine are stock.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks!

I went from stock as well and used CorvetteMods Low Beam HID upgrade kit as well as their HID Fog Light Kit. I chose the 8000K bulbs that were a bit more blue with their 55W slim ballasts and installed a resistor from them as well for the Low Beams. That was in order to ensure the buckets would raise and lower properly.

All bulbs are in the OEM Housings. And just a note when you are installing/attaching the ballasts to the car, make sure they are mounted far enough down so the buckets do not hang up on them. Good luck!

They reaaaaaaally make a difference. I neglected to do the HID High Beam kit because IMO there is plenty of light output with just the lows and fogs!

Did you have to buy a relay kit to make them work ? I went with a 55w kit also and the lights flicker like crazy and sometimes dont come on.

Zr-1Mike00

I didn't use a relay only the resistor they had on their site.

The HID's require a little bit more juice to fire up so if I start it at night and flip the headlights on right away without starting the car I will still get some serious flicker from them. However start it and turn them on sometimes they will fire right up. If not rev it a bit and turn them off (back one click) and on again and they are good to go.

I have the Fogs on for the approach lights when you unlock the car (Can be done on the DIC) and even then once I unlock the car they noticeably get brighter as I walk closer.

Car looks great Mike. The LED halo tails sure give the car a different look from behind and definitely add to the visibility of the car. HIDs sure throw out the light also.

Thanks very much Mike

I bought my HID projector lights from JW, along with the harness that lets the HID low beams stay on when I go to high beams. Everything was excellent quality and the install was easy. I bought 5000K lights with 55 watt ballasts. They make a very nice wall of white light.

You should never put HID's in stock housings...if your Vette was as high as a normal car you would be blinding everyone. Hids require the "focus" of a Projector housing. Do it right and you'll really be blown away by the lighting improvement.

Zr-1Mike00

You know it!

And thank you!

It is literally night and day! The 8K throws off a bit more blue than I would like but oh well. The 5K below are awesome as well!

That Hi-4 Harness is damn bright!

Couldn't be happier!

Everyone should install halos

Thread is abt 4 months old. How are the headlights holding up. Is there anything you would order about them differently?

Thinking about ordering some myself.

Zr-1Mike00

The headlights are working perfectly, and still very bright! The only difference I might have made would be to have gone with a projector housing like the ACA's instead of the OEM housing. And get the 8K temp bulb. The 5K is a bit too blue for me now. You lose some light output for the color you get and the color has grown old on me.

As far as the Halo LED's.... Can't believe I went as long as I did without them. They really add to the appearance of the car at night with the halo and when you get on them there is zero mistake that you are stopping! It is pretty awesome seeing them light up the signs behind you on the road with the directional on!

imgn tht

I think you mean the other way around. The higher the Kelvin of the bulb the more blue, and eventually purple (12K) they get. 5K is much closer to pure white, I believe 4K is the most pure. I have 6K in my OEM housings and they are a bit on the blue side, would have liked 5K, but the (supporting) vendor I bought from didn't offer them...

I too wish I went to projectors though. I really don't see much light output in mine and feel I could have done much better.
