New HIDs From Corvette Mods
Just installed my new HID Low Beams and Fogs that I got from Corvette Mods Ltd. I'm impressed with the way they look. Should have bought them a long time ago. I am very happy with them.
I got a good deal. They were shipped quickly. Good customer service and a 2 year replacement warranty as well.
I'm not an electrical expert. My education is academic and not vocational; but I called Neal at Corvette Mods and he talked me through part of the installation. It wasn't too difficult. Thanks Neal. It was good doing business with you.
If you want good quality HIDs with good customer service, give Neal at Corvette Mods Ltd. a call.

I can see the need to get better lighting, it's almost dangerous to drive at night.
With that said, I still can't stress enough how someone shouldn't get HID's for stock housings. Stockers are not made for HID's, they simply can't handle the output correctly. There's almost no cutoff, the light pattern is scattered and you are now blinding other drivers. I know you've seen trucks, suvs and stupid little boy racers who have insanely bright headlights, that you've probably flashed to turn them down. Unfortunately they can't because they have HID's in stock housings, and more than likely, anyone who does this mod, witl be joining the rest of the crowd that blinds others.

Nvusgt, you are right.
however, I've never been flashed and I have this kit since this spring.
I have reaimed the headlights low to account for the extra scatter.If you don't re aim them, then you probably will get flashed.
and the corvette sits low than most other vehicles on the road helps too.

Thanks guys.
Thanks Bill. Yeah, the bulbs are 8000K. They may look blue in the pic; but honestly they don't look too blue in person.
The light output is quite an improvement over the light output of the stock lights. Well worth the switch.
Thanks again, Neal.

The website only shows 6000k bulbs, how did you end up with 8000k ?

I just installed these HID's, fog lights and the switchbacks over the weekend. Big improvement over stock. The lights are a little blue but not bad. Corvette mod's webpage says that the bulbs are 6000K. I also had a few questions about the install and Neal was quick to help me out.
