I think the rear LEDs look kinda cool on earlier c4s (84-90) but they don't seem to fit quite right with the 91-96s.... :D

Did you see them at their web site or paper catalog?
I wanted to see what they looked like but didn't see them online. Maybe I'm not looking in the right spot? :confused:

Re: LED tailights (JHammer)
I saw them in the new paper catalog I got last night. The cover has a pic of the pass side of a red 90 ZR-1 bumper. I don't have it in front of me here, but the lights were about 3/4 of the way into the catalog. I didn't see them in last months catalog.

Re: LED tailights (rainsux89)
The LED bulb replacements are not as bright as a standard bulb. Therfore harder to see during the day. Two advantages of LED's are that they light up quicker, some people think "who cares" but it means that it will come on quicker so that the old lady peaking over the steering wheel behind you has a little but more time to react. Second advantage is that they last alot longer. :seeya

Re: LED tailights (C4Cvette)
Those would seem to be some good reasons for switching them out. How hard is it to do?

Re: LED tailights (barkingowl)
The bulb replacments are NOT as bright as stock bulbs. Right now I am trying to figure out a way to fit 40 LED Semi-truck replacements behind the stock lenses. They are much brighter, but cost about $40. thats $40 x 4= $160.

Re: LED tailights (rainsux89)
I have them on my UPS truck, my pick up and vettes are next. I'm not getting the ones like the C5 has, I'm doing the bulb thing.
