The LED lights are definitely much better. They look great and I consider them a real safety feature.

I vote LEDs. As a matter of fact, I ordered some from Corvette Enhancements who has them at an awesome price. On top of that, Richard is an awesome guy to do business with. Can't go wrong with LEDs nor with buying them from Richard.

Here's a thing i made for my Myspace page... (Camera Flash lit up the reflectors)



I like how bright LED's are, but i prefer the factory horizontal stripe look. If i could get LED's with the stock light pattern, It'd be a perfect world...

The LEDs certaily get my vote I was never very impressed or interested in them, until I seen a lighted set on a few C5's at WWC's open house. Then I had to have them

Default LED's YA!

Pics don't do them justice! They really look good in person, much better than stock in every way...
