HID kits and lights
I was getting ready to drop a wad a cash on HID fogs, LED tails, brake and clearance lights from CorvetteHID.com. I did a search on the install threads and see that CorvetteHID is rumoured to have gone Nipples North!!
Does anybody know if they are alive. There is NO phone number on their web site%^&*! This stuff ain't cheap!
Thanks crew.

I got a set of 8 K HID fog lights at Carlisle this year, $105.70 cash I haven't used my headlights since I installed them. All I really need is some Packard connectors, terminals and seals and it'll be a plug and play with the original fog light wires and socket intact.
Some one has/had a set of C-4 LED tailights for sale not long ago.

FWIW - on an old jeep YJ that I had I put in the ebay special non-sealed beam halogen lights then used a plug-and-play HID conversion kit to replace that halogen bulb - if I recall the plastic housings were $35-40ish and the HID kit was $50-ish and the light output was 100x better than a stock sealed beam all for under $100.
I sold that one and bought a new JK and put a $42 HID kit in the driving lights and can say they went from something that I would consider to be just for aesthetics to actually being able to out shine the headlights (they were pretty useless in stock form - barely brighter than the marker lights).
Just be sure to get around a 5k light color as the further away you go (higher or lower) the light output drops pretty dramatically - heck I think the 10k blue lights had less than 1/2 the lumens that the 5k's do...
