Really bright c6 high beams?
My 2009 Z06 has what appear to be HID low beams, but the high beams aren't very impressive and they have a typical non-HID yellow tint. Does anyone make a kit or replacement lights for the high beams?
I've searched the forum a lot, and Googled this, but to no avail. Seems like there are lots more headlight options for the C5s.

You can try an aftermarket halogen that's tinted in an attempt to emulate the bluer color temperature of the 4300K HID low beams.
There are numerous HID replacements that you can install as your high beams, but they aren't normally recommended because you lose the flash-to-pass capability of the instant-on halogens.
HID fog lamps are a significant upgrade in lighting as well.

I installed the highest priced silver stars in mine and they look pretty decent but then I rarely ever use the high beams.
