Default New Low-Cost Mod Just Installed
Installed strobe lights in coves. Have been meaning to do this for awhile.

See my YouTube video here:


I already did the front and rear quite some time ago. See YouTube video featuring all three strobes here; including front, rear and side coves.:

What is the point of having strobe lights?

I have seen a couple of Corvettes with strobes in parades. Pretty cool.
Other than that, useless mod IMHO.

The side ones would be good if you could tie it to your turn signals . . .

I've tied a set of LED lights into my brake and turn signal lights and installed them in the cove areas of my C5. Looks pretty good and a little extra visual for other drivers to notice.

I would have a very subdued solid red glow coming from my coves to set off the calipers and side markers. I don't care for the front and back strobes unless maybe you are using the vehicle as a warning device for your job?

I've had Whelen strobes (6) installed in 3 previous Vettes... Nice car show feature and parades... Seldom gets driven otherwise throughout the year... I know, I'm bad.....
