Headlight problem
I just put in some plug and play led bulbs I bought & as soon as I put them everything worked fine except the lights both won't go back down. The only way to put the headlights to fold back down into the hood is by putting it on high beams & then turn the switch to off why is it? Do the LEDs screw up the power to the 2 motors for the lights? I took the LEDs out & put the regular bulb in & they work just fine but I put the LEDs back in & they just don't want to fold back down into the hood what's up with this? Let me know what you know about this! Thanks!

are you talking about hid's instead of led's... i've heard of people having this problem with 35w hid ballasts... i believe you need a 55w ballast to keep that from happening

Nope these are straight up LEDs with 167 smds on each bulb problem is they really suck noe that I saw them in the dark so I'm thinking about getting the hids. I hope they don't have the same problem so you're saying I need 55 watts instead 35? Interesting I swear corvettes are so complicated but I love em
