2021 C2 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified

Default

Here's a TTT for you.

I've always been unhappy with the light output of my C5 so I decided it was time to upgrade. I placed an order for the lights and the slim ballasts or at least I think I included the ballasts. The final order shows the correct total even though it didn't list the ballasts. Please let me know if I need to do anything else.

I'm looking forward to installing these.

Thanks

Been waiting for a headlight to blow before ordering my kit. Light blew, so my order just went in!

will i experience a resistance problem causing the headlight motor not to open or the light not to fire on?

Will i have to flash the highbeams to make the low beams kick on?

Installed HID lows from corvettemods today, simple plug and play....and so bright! Great price and great service, makes me wonder why I waited so long. If you have stock bulbs you must do this mod. Corvettemods answered all of my questions and it was delivered in 2 days!


Comparison to stock

I can see at night

Can you send me the install instructions?

I have had these for couple of months now, and they are working great still.

After I installed them, I have re-aimed the headlights, so that they point away from oncoming traffic and point down from the stock position. (makes sense since it makes more glare) I have never gotten hi-beamed.

If you just pop them in and don't re-aim them, you probably will get hi-beamed.

Some need alignment and some don't. Either way, install and adjustment is very simple. Thanks for your post!

Don't feel alone.. I've got them sitting right next to me in the box.. and Still can't figure out how to install them.
I can run a refinery, but not smart enough to install lights...Boy I feel smart.. LOL

send me a PM on where you're having issues. It really is quite simple to install. No different then replacing them with a standard bulb. The parts only connect together one way.

Thanks for the offer. I'm going to have a few drinks early Saturday morning. So I can do this...I'm simply over thinking it..
And I have the Fog HID kit to do as well...Hmmm I think I need more beer for Saturday. LOL
