The lights look fantastic. They really set off the torch red front end. It is unfortunate for me I just don't have $1200 to spend on headlights at this time. I guess I'll have to drive slower at night. George, if I ever were to buy them is it a definite that you won't do the DRL strip anymore. It just makes them look that much more awesome and I'd have to have that feature. Really adds to modernizing the front end.

What was your biggest issue installing, adjusting the bulbs or getting the shroud low enough?

We can do it on an as-requested basis, but they will not be listed as an option on the website. You'll need to email me prior to ordering to arrange this.

That car looks so good and it has certainly given me some inspiration for my recently acquired TR coupe. Just out of interest, what make and size of wheels are they?

Those look awesome, nice product. I really like the way the lens follows the form of the fender.

I couldn't get the mounting bracket to go high enough to get the lights to shine over the bumper. The back of the bulbs where crammed into the fender well, it took modding the bracket to make it work. Then I had to go buy all new weather seals for it because the ones that came in the kit were pretty old and looked like they were falling apart. And yes the shrouds don't fit like they should either.
I got it all in after messing with it for days and they do work and look way better then stock. But it was way to much of a pain and seemed like low quality parts for the cost I thought.

Just my experience with them, like I said I'm glad yours was better.

I took the car out last night and tested out the night vision. It is nothing short of incredible. My wife has an RX330 with bixenon headlights and I would say the corvette is on par or better than her headlights.

There is no comparison in light output between these headlights and stock corvette headlights. That was actually the selling point that tipped the scale on getting my wife on board with the purchase.

That's a bummer about your experience. When Mounting the bracket I thought about slotting the bolt holes to give myself more room to move up or down but was ultimately able to get the fit I wanted without modding. My shrouds and lens fit well.

I was a little worried prior because there is so little feedback from other members posted here on these headlights. Anyone who's modded knows fitment can make or break whether a mod is worth doing.

However, my experience with the fitment was good after adjusting numerous times. As I stated the install isn't tough it's just tedious in adjusting the lights. If I had not added the aftermarket halos, The install would have been easier since my shroud/lens fit perfectly and I wouldn't have had to spend time adjust it to fit with my halos.

I love my Radioflyer SLC V3 headlights

Yours turned out even better than mine did

Unfortunately, my car broke a week after install and has been down ever since

I wish one of us didn't have a torch red car with polished CCW's. The lights look so good on your car, I'm going to have to do this mod sooner than later to my torch Z, aside from the improvement in night vision.

Thanks guys, the longer I have the lights the more I like them. I believe because of the led lighting my car receives noticeably more attention. I had 3 different people at a car meet over the weekend ask me if my car was a c6. If you color matched the headlights the non corvette enthusiast would assume it's a c6.

If I get some good night shots at some point I'll come back and update the thread. Here are the last day light pics I will post in this thread, think I've covered every angle Snapped them throughout a drive to Elizabeth, CO, here they are.

Your car looks great! The C5 is definitely the version that I'm going to purchase and yours keeps on reminding me why!
