Have you thought about wiring them into the turn signals so they flash like current euro cars do?

I had thought about this because I had done a similar mod on my MR2. The site that detailed that is here: http://www.padandwheels.com/mr2/side...repeaters.html

I haven't looked at the Corvette wiring to see what it would take, but I'd bet it's a fairly easy thing to sort out.

Double sided tape. Ground wire to chassis and the power wire into the ignition system( no power when cars off). Switch underneath the drivers kick panel.

I did mine in yellow or amber. I tried to take pix but it doesn't capture it very well. Looks cool at night though. I grounded to the frame and ran a wire to the side marker light wire.
