Default European FRONT light kit ?

It's no problem to get a European tail light kit but what about the front ?

When starting the car I have a permanent yellow forward light which is illegal, only white forward light is allowed. The direction lights must be yellow in both front and rear.

Is it possible(and how) to convert a US car to have only white light in the front and yellow direction lights :confused:

I'm Norwegian and live in USA, but here is some pictures how a C5 look like in Norway, I guess it's the same in Sweden.
This car has only White running lights.
Atleast thise pictures can give you an idea.

This should be as simple as changing out the bulbs. I changed to the white bulbs and now have white DRL's and yellow turn signals.

Poor poor eikeland..................I´m so sorry for you
Didn´t they have bigger license plates in Norway?
With some good luck I got a small one at least for the front! :D

LOL..It's not mine car, this picture is taken at a Norwegian Dealer.
The law and rules is darn "veird" in Norway, this is why the ugly plates.
But yes I agree with you 100%! Poor them my vette buddies back home!

I live in Florida now, and here is mine vert.

CorvetteSS,

Thanks for the suggestion, I will sure try it :yesnod:

About the Norwegian license plates, the same rules apply in sweden. You must have a clearly visable license plate in front. Can you see mine :) I have a small one mounted to the rubber spoiler, you can see just a glimse of it on the pic :) No problems so far :D
