Someone who bought the HID light kit from Corvette Garage told me today that it took about 3 months before he received his lights. So I guess it just takes a long time.

Obviously, we are at the mercy of the manufacturer on when we receive kits.
We have 20 black and 20 chrome kits on order. We hope to receive soon. No one gets charged until we ship.
Thanks,

Nate

$799 for what most say is the best true HID kit for the C5 out there. C'mon that is a great price when you compare the kits and the prices they want for them.

Pull the trigger.

roushraven- please give Chris a call to order. If easier, place the order online and in the remarks section, type in "forum gp" or similar. Pay no attention to the invoice total, you will only be charged gp price when we ship.
Thanks,

Nate

I'm thinking the kit with the black background, afraid the chrome may be to much bling for me. I don't want a rice look. Any comments from those that have seen both kits installed? My C5 is Light Carmine Red.

So.... are these relatively straightforward to install? I can turn a wrench but I'm not a mechanic. Does it require 2 people to install this kit?
