The lights are really sharp! They should be stock!

I commented in another thread that I was not a big fan of stripes except in certain colors, and yours is one of them. The silver on blue looks really good!

They are on eBay for $350 (does not include install or custom work), and they change to all sorts of colors! <CLICK HERE> , some cars also have tail light sets, but not the Vette, that I could see

Mike @ East Coast Performance offers this mod as well. You can use the LED or CCFL lights. I'll see if he has put pics on the Lens Replacement thread yet.

Here's pic's of his bezels with the LightWerks Angel eyes/Halos. They look a lot better without the chrome trim rings.

I spoke with someone at East Coast Performance on the phone about the cost and what they actually do. I told them i would like to send in my lights and have them install the white LED halos and wire them to the yellow DRLs knowing that I would not be able to use the DRLs anymore. They told me they only install the lights, the wiring would have to done by someone else. The cost of the parts and installation was $1300 and if I wanted them to wire them through the DRLs the total would be $200 more. That sounds pretty expensive to me, but i'm not sure how much the OP paid for everything either.

That price also includes new lens.

The lights Werkz Halo's are not direct 12v connection and generally all connectipon made outside of the headlight assembly into the lamps wiring harness or direct to the battery with a switch. They use an inverter which adds to the connection proccess.

I believe he is currently sourcing a direct 12v product.

If you don't mind contact LightWurkz, the install is cheaper for sure.

Is this a guess? Have you contacted Light Werkz? Please, at least compare apples to aplles. Light werkz cuts your existing lens off then silicones the hell out of it putting the light together. Ask me how I know. You can also see it on their website.

I'm all for price checking but be sure what you are paying for. Most others on here that are doing some sort of angle eye are in the 1000. range reusing your lens. So depending what condition your lens are in will dictate the final look. 1000.00 and old lens or 1300. with new lens. Sounds about right to me.

Good feedback. I'm not trying to scare anyone off from doing this because I surely want to do this myself. However, I do want quality product and service and will pay more for those things. I'm just not wanting to pay any 'Corvette tax' in the process. If the east coast guys are wiring in a 12V system that is compatible with the existing electrical system then thats a good thing.

Not a guess, you mentioned the prices above and I tell you they are cheaper because I know. That's all.
