I put Silverstar bulbs into my stock housings and raised them a bit - performance on low-beams is "good" - but high-beams are worthless.
I bought some "repaired Chinese housings" from Radio Flyer that came with HID projectors and LED high beams. These aftermarket housings are still one-piece (high-beam not separately aimable) - but I was told "The LED high-beams are so bright that the aim is not critical." Also I noted that the LED's in the high-beams have a heat sink - and that part of it has been ground off - word from Radio Flyer is that "the lifting arm will interfere with the heat sink." I have yet to verify all of this - but wanted to share what I've learned for those looking for info on this topic. Will post an update when I get around to the installation...

I bought a pair of low and high beam bulbs [LED] from CARIFEX and am having trouble. Plugging them in I only get 1 high beam to work but both low beams do not work but yet hook them directly to 12v battery on the Corvette then 1 low beam works and the other 1 does not. Hook up both high beam bulbs and they both work. Still working with carifex to see what they say.

They say I need the canbus system for their bulbs. What I have been seeing on their web site I do not see any canbus bulbs. I ask them if I could send them back, no reply as of yet

check the polarity by turning the connector plug the other way. also, LED lows often won't draw enough power to trigger the raising/lowering motors without adding a resistor in-line (which gets hot).

They got back to me and said they did have the canbus connectors at a price of $24.95 each.. I think I am just going to send them back. Thanks for the come back
Got a email from them this AM and they said that the canbus system was $24.95 for 2, and they said they would give me 20% off. They also said I could send back but a restocking fee would be charged , but did not say how much. I have 1 bulb that does not work at all and am trying to find out if they are going to replace it. When all is said n done this is the last time I will ever do any kind of business with them.
