C7 taillamps To a C5
Any help on making the euro style C7 lamps work on the C5 I have a New C7 rear harness How do I separate the turn and brake lamps can I feed the brakes with the 3rd brake lamp Any Help?
Got it all finished and ready to roll.
Love this spoiler It had to be modified to fit properly but worth the effort!!! <br/>From this angle it still has a C5 look

Well it's different, normally I won't put negative on someones car, I'll keep it to myself. I have come to like the C 7 but still don't care for the tail lights ???

I have to admit that if that is a stock C7 rear fascia, it fits amazingly well to the back of the C5. If it's not stock, please share where you got it from.

If that's a C7 bumper I'm stunned to see the fit is so close. I have to imagine there's some massaging going on!
Interesting project!

Neither was I ... at first.
Thought it was heresy - a Vette should have 4 rounds, not those...lifted from a Camaro....
But get behind one at night...looks mean, if not evil... Changed my opinion.
The one thing it took me a long time to get used to on my C5 was the big butt. IMHO the 7 rear facia makes the C5 butt look smaller than it really is

Almost done. Got all the wiring conversion done yesterday. Need to figure out exhaust next & we are ready to roll

If you don't mind post some good completed photos when you are done. I don't know of any one that has actually completed the conversion provided by California Supercoupes, and really interested in seeing it since it's going on a Nassau Blue car.

So you take the worst aspect of the C7 and put it where best aspect of the C5 was?
Makes perfect sense.........

I really like the rims. Are they C7 as well? The front corner lights are nice too.
I like the stock look of a C5 but your car seems to be coming along nicely. It's pretty heavily modified.
