Default Improving How a C6 Looks From Behind

Tired of those obsolete, tired, outdated round tail lights on your C6? Want to bring it into this decade? Want to make it faster and handle better? Here's how to make all that happen with a simple light fixture modification:




Disclaimer: I'm a former C6 owner. I love my C6. I love my new C7. This is humor for those who can't tell. It does prove, however, that Camaro tail lights on any generation Vette is a huge improvement.

Apologies if the pic is a repost, I don't spend any time in this forum now that I traded my C6 for the C7.

Yep, from what I read GM is going to give those dandy lights to everything from the Cruze to the Volt....

They must have gotten tired of the Camaro references..

I agree. The C7 rear end looks like it was designed by Stevie Wonder.

Except the Camaro; they took the Camaro lights off of it.

IMO the C6 rear still looks better to me. I like the round tail lights.. the C7 just says camaro to me.

No, you just made it look like a Camaro. That's why many of us are keeping our C6s.

Maybe one day when you get over the mistake you made of buying a C7, you'll also learn where it's appropriate to post pics of other cars than a C6.

Actually, I do agree w. one poster in that it may look better on a C6 than a C7. If it lost the black "tails" beside the lights, it might even look better on the C6. There is quite a bit going on at the rear end of the C7 and the lights just add to it.

Actually they do look pretty good on a C6 ... First impressions are always important ... And of course Silver does it for me...

Corvette tail lights should be round.

I am surprised that an aftermarket bumper hasn't been made yet. They have everything else. The worst is the C5 headlights to look like C6. So dumb.
