oh yeah, don't pass judgement on the halo ring unless you've seen them in person because they look stunning.

And yes they are very much brighter than stock tail lights and they are simple to install.
Also there is no yellow at all like most of the pictures show

Here is an example of what they do NOT look like>>>and yes those are LED halos


Hey I know where that picture was taken!!

Never had a problem with hyperflash. In the kit got a little unit that I plugged into the wiring under the dash. Slows the flash down a bit...all works great. Actually thinking of replacing the front indicators with LED's as well.

I think I prefer the Halos to the Eyeballs.

I'll never forget the comment my youngest son made to me when he first saw the Halos installed on my car. "Makes it look like a rocket ship now."

I was talking to Richard at Corvette Enhancements today. He said they were looking into a plug-in device to defeat hyper flash for those who have the problem. It will plug into the flasher under the dash. Not ready yet though. His number 1-800-946-4929

It is a little unit that I got with the lights. On the package it says ADJURE Electronic Flasher Variable Load. There was only one plug that seemed to fit, and in it went. Plug and play, made for the corvette, no splicing or cutting.

On the back says "Locate original flasher, remove and plug in your new electronic variable load flasher. Note:Our Electronic flasher will continue to operate when one or more turn signals lights have failed"

Works great, my guess is I can replace the front ones with LED's as well, as this unit forces the lights to flash.
Contact the company...maybe they sell them seperately as well?

i checked on their website but they don't list the part for sale. i have an email into them asking if it is available seperately from their tail lights.
