Goes well with Silver I think.

I put RED LED's in the white part. Can't see anything in there when the car is off, but its a BRIGHT red when I hit the turn signal.
Good idea. I've been thinking of doing white LEDs, but I'm still undecided.

Any pictures Toque?

I don't have any pics of a White LED behind the White part of my Euro's ...

Just a picture of when mine turn RED. The picture is horrible. It did not come out showing how bright RED they are. They look Pink in the picture. It was hard to catch them ON when they were blinking.

Okay, so I ordered the EURO TAIL LIGHTS - RED/AMBER setup. Followed the steps to the period and this is what is going on...

- HAZARDS = 3rd BRAKE light blinks; both RED/AMBER blink on the passenger side; INNER RED blinks only on the DRIVER side.
- BRAKES engaged = 3rd BRAKE light; both RED on PASSENGER side worked; INNER RED ONLY comes on
- BLINKERS = AMBERS worked on PASSENGER side worked; nothing on DRIVER

Checked all connections on the driver side and even had to splice them together because connectors came apart. Not sure what to do about this. Ideas? Buddy of mine has the same year VETTE with same kit and all is fine...harness bad?

No power from the out side driver side yellow to yellow connection from the light connecter.

I am looking at these, which appear to be a direct replacement - http://www.lingenfelter.com/mm5/merc...gory_Code=C231

POSTED IN C5 TECH also.

Very frustrating afternoon.
