However, the Morimoto LED universal fog lights are practically a perfect fit in the C5 fog light area. Here are some pictures:
No output shots yet. IMO much better than the HID "upgrade," especially if you use approach lights and flash on locking. I opted for yellow Lamin-X covers for yellow fog lights, but without the film is 5500k in color.

Interesting, how much did you have to do custom to install?

Almost nothing. I had to rewire the Morimoto lights to plug into the factory harness, and it was slightly wider than the factory bracket, but that was it. I am sure if you contact TheRetrofitSource before ordering, they could have it prewired for you. The factory bracket is easily bendable, so just a slight widening by hand and you could screw it into the Morimoto pivot point using the Morimoto screws. It does suffer from the same adjustability problem as the Hella Micro DE upgrade Radioflyer offers, but that is to be expected. I just screwed it in tight and adjusted by hand after installing. Stock positioning is almost perfect, any adjustments needed is easily done by hand.
Tsumi, so how different is the light from the Morimoto's?
Before I couldn't really even notice when the fog lights were on. After, I can clearly see the fog lights and almost drive with the headlights off. I don't feel like they have enough throw at highway speeds, but more than enough in the city.

Thanks. Let me know if you want additional shots. I've been super busy with retrofitting the FX-Rs into the ACAs, and they are finally done. Now I have to modify the headlight module because it refuses to close with the 55 watt HIDs. I already have a plan though, just need to get some relays. Also need to redo my custom harness for one of my turn lights to make it more waterproof.
Do the lights come with a harness to modify? And did you go with the 70mm XB's?
They come with ~8 inches of wire and a 9006 plug, so it's easy to cut off the plug and put on a 889? 899? whatever bulb the Corvette uses plug. I got the 70mm version.
