Anyone have experience w/ the T3 replacements from Corvette Central? Mine are dim and need replacement. Also considering the Halogen replacements from CC. Any info/ advice is appreciated. Thanks

Yes, they are reproductions made by Lectric Limited with the T-3 correct logos. Functionally they are bright and work as new headlights should and if you drive at night much, I would consider them a safety item. Not sure if they will pass the stictest NCRS judging (they say DOT on them), but I'd take the points hit for the added safety and function (assuming you care about judging). From a few feet away, you can't tell and I like the look of the T-3's on the car. Pilot Dan

Have been running them for about 10 years now, and work well. However, I have routed them through relays (higher voltage than when run though original small gauge wiring), and revised the wiring so that all 6 filaments are on when on High Beam.
