Default Your Vintage Corvette Needs LED Headlights Immediately



Old halogen sealed beam headlamps are very easy to "outdrive." So you need a set of LED lamps to keep up with your fast Chevy.

I have LED's for the rear lights but I can not think of one time (not that there may be some day) that I have drove my 67 or any of my Vettes in the dark at night. Besides that is a C 3 and you should have posted a price for the LED front lights as well as the rear lights.

(Edited)

Oh I forgot to pass this along. If you get LED lights in your C 2 them NCRS I am sure will dock you points for that little non original change in your car. So do you want safety or do you want NCRS points??? I go with the safety part.

I "read the rest on the Corvette Forum homepage", but it's not clear to me what is involved when it says "If you can avoid it, don’t get the “drop in” style LED bulbs for later cars, instead opt for a complete replacement housing, as the replacement bulbs are much more difficult to properly aim."

Would have been nice if there were links to specific (suggested) vendor offerings, photos, and/or a "how to" write-up.
