your link is weird, works if copy and pasted, no clicky. too bad they don't do third brake lights, I think I may have found a direct bulb replacment for early c4s though.

I was talking to my electronics prof. about LEDs for the 3rd brake light. He said "You can get anything you want in LED, if you're willing to pay the money for custom work"

WHY SPEND ALL THAT MONEY!!! I picked up some red led 4" taillights, and some 4" Amber turn lights off of ebay for $4 a piece. Wired them into the harness, and Voila!! Led lights. Total of about $20 bucks, after I got the weathrtight connectors.....

Default Super Bright LED's

It looks like you would need 14 bulbs if you were to replace all of them on an early C4. Does anyone know the bulb #'s and quantity of each?

Whats so bad about the stock tail lights? I think they're pretty bright and you cant mistake a corvette at night for any other car. I think LED's are a waste of money if your just looking for replacements.

how many times do you want to replace the tail lights in a c4? I'd like to only have to do it once.
