Default Tinted LED's

Okay where do I find info on corvette enhancements (Richard) ? web address/ phone??? Has anyone tinted the led's. Are the lights still fairly visible through the tint. Just want the brake lights visible thru the tint so no one climbs up my a** at a stop light. I figured the led's might be brighter witht the tint. Thanks in advance..

I purchased a pair of black-cherry side markers from Richard and they look great.

I'm here We'll have them available within the next few weeks. Yes, they're nice and bright. VERY close to as bright as untinted OEMs. In fact, from some angles the LEDs look a bit brighter, other angles make the OEMs look a tad brighter. Either way, they're awesome

Yes, as a matter of fact our standard tint will be Black Cherry. Any other shades would be special order. We're in the process of putting together an entire LED kit of Halo Tails, Reverse Lights, Front and Rear Markers & 3rd Brake. All will be LEDs exept for the front turn signal bulbs. The side lamp in the front marker will be LED as well. The black cherry halo LED taillights are priced at $345.00. If you're interested in just the Black Cherry Halos, I believe that I still have one set left that could ship out as soon as Monday the 30th

Is there any way to wire it so that the Halo ring is the only light on when the parking lights are on.. Then having the leds come on when brakes applied??

i doubt that will be possible.

once you see them in person, however, you will NOT be disappointed.

We're not sure yet Steve. We're still sourcing the clear front markers. Once we have a supplier for these, will immediately post prices on the entire kit. Hopefully we'll have this information very soon.
Thanks,
Richard

That car in the pic is silver right? What color blackouts are on that one? Are they black cherry? My car is silver and I think they would look nice and the side markers to.

Thanks

These are sealed units, just like our 3rd brake light. While technically most anything can be done, the practicality of doing so would be prohibitive. There would be no simple way of doing so. It would probably be easier to remanufacture the entire light unit.

Yes Lori, that's the Sebring Silver. And yes, those are Black Cherry. Black Cherry will be our new standard issue offered with our new full LED light kits. The reason for Black Cherry, is to allow more light to transfer through the lenses. We're going full LED with our kits in the interest of creating Brighter Blackout. So we don't want to defeat this purpose by going Solid Black. The Black Cherry look black in indirect sunlight, yet appear very dark red in direct sunlight. A perfect medium in my opinion. When compared to a Red OEM lens with a standard bulb, our Black Cherry LEDs are very close to equal illumination ... and that was our objective. We've found that the parking lights are marginally brighter with our Black Cherry LEDs, while the brake light is marginally brighter with Red OEMs and standard bulbs. We'll also be offing the Adjure Diamond Cut rear Red markers with Red 5 LED cluster bulbs. They're an absolute perfect match with the Halo taillights.
Thanks,
Richard
