Yes

there are multiple makers out there with the same connector layout as the orig halogen bulbs (H4 base unless ‘63 was diff) and the LED will draw less current so no need for relays or other wiring changes.

Yes you can use LED's on your Corvette. i went with Octane lighting for both low and high beams with classic lenses. They look factory and work great. Hope this helps in your decision making. - Fred

I've had the Holley LED lights in mine for several years now with no problems. The lights are amazing.
