Like I said, you can purchase complete wiring kits with relays from Mad Electrical. Com.
Or, you can just wire in relays yourself.

I did the relay mod by purchasing relays and making my own wires. Very easy and it does help. Located the relays on the driver side inner fender, adjacent to the alternator, and hid them behind vacuum hoses.

Pic looks great. PM sent with a question about these particular LEDs.

Halogens and relays here. Did it a few years ago. I really just wanted to get the high current out of the headlight switch. I also upgraded the power wires from the relays to the lamps so I can pretty much choose what I want to run at this point.

Thanks. So that is the wiring on the passenger side that is just kind of passing through the passenger side going forward? Looks like it just mounts on the wiring but is not directly in line.

Not sure if you are answering my post or someone else’s. That capacitor was mounted with flasher into fuse block under drivers side dash.

Sorry if I misunderstood you and what your looking for.

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...sixaddict.html This is exactly what I was looking for. My memory , not so good, tells me it was on this in the passenger bay. Is that possible and would it still d o its job? Kind of tight spaces in the fuse box.

The only reason I saw where it went was due to the fact I replaced all four tail lights with LEDs, and the kit came with a new LED flasher. When I removed OEM flasher I noticed capacitor also. Yes it’s tight spot for sure, not like my C6 which is under the hood. My 66 year old body felt that for a day or two…..😂

FYI - The capacitor on the flashers is to keep that annoying clicking sound out of the radio. If you have a modern radio head unit it probably won't pickup the noise.
