The man you need is Jhonathan at "JW Motoring." He is a knowledgable vendor and forum sponsor. His integrity is second to none. If he can't help you, no one can.
Best wishes.

Also talk to Richard at Corvette Enhancements (C5VetteLS1 on here). They are a supporting vendor as well.

Yes, if you just install LED for corner lights, you will get hyperflash. Richard has a bypass harness that plugs in under the dash. well worth it IMHO.

I went with switchbacks, these change from amber (DRL, turn signal) to white (parking/marker light), and they are

I don't have the harness on the site. I can point you in the right direction for one though.

Yes my bulbs fit right into the socket. You might look at some LEDs for the front corners also. It will look a lot better.

The 9 LEDs put out enough light.

Thanks to those that suggested me

where would you suggest i acquire the harness? im going to purchase both the switchbacks and the corner led's. are there different harnesses for different led setups? for example, if someone only wanted to do the running lights and leave the corners incandescent. i just want to make sure i purchase the correct harness. i do not plan on going LED tail lights.

No the harness is for everything. You need to remove the center console to install it though. I think I just noticed a PM from you. I haven't had a chance to respond to them all yet.

I'll send you that harness info by PM also.

You will need the HyperFlash Fix Harness to correct the hyperflash after installing LED's in the front corners.

We currently have the 48 LED Towers and the Hyperflash Fix Harness instock and ready for immediate shipping.

Thanks

do these come in pairs or do you buy each led tower seperately? its kind of confusing because the picture shows 2 towers.
Thanks.
