Yes purchased from Vette Lights. I also have the Morimoto tail lights & I’ve read some have experienced hyper flash with both installed but these worked flawlessly as soon as I plugged them in.

The lights really aren’t expensive, especially since you can sell your stock lights too. I got mine through Umnitza; and the forum price is much less than the $1280

I think the Morimoto headlights look fantastic on the C6.
However, $1,280 for a set is pretty pricey !

i positioned it to cover the holes and held on with painters tape, then put painters tape around the pointed v to act as a guide, then removed the backing on the tape and placed in the V pulled away from car then laid back flush against body. Just a tip if anyone buys some.

I think they look fine, don't care about C7-whatever. FWIW, I like the front-end styling of the C7 with the sharpened lines, etc.
I probably wouldn't buy these lights until I have to though. But . . . who knows?
However, all I've seen here is the $1200-something list price; everybody says they've gotten them cheaper than that but how much???

I screwed up the rear and picked up another one. I figured out the best way to put them on (because once the tape sticks it sticks and if you try to pull off you could brake the acrylic emblem ( actually you will break it haha)

Jabcat,
1) How do you remove the emblem in front of air inlet ??
2) What new emblem from which vendor did you install
and may we assume it covers the exact same position
3) I just finished sanding/polishing rock chips from my FOG LENSES.
In doing so I evidently removed the top layer of UV protection (??)
Not sure how this will impact future wear on my OE lense
Curious what material is covering your FOGLAMP lense
I have my lamps removed from Bumper

Thanks & no worries, I know they're not for everyone (including me for the longest time). I think what bothered me the most on the OEM lights was the big DRL housing. Maybe if I would've tinted it when I painted the buckets black, I don't know. I thought adding the LED switchbacks and getting rid of the egg yolk bulb would help, but then the big LED DRL in that housing didn't look right.

first of all love your car and the color looks freakin awesome! I have a question though I have a 07 z06 and just installed the same headlights you have (Morimoto) and mine don't seem like they are exactly a flush fit. maybe I'm being ocd but some spots look like they have a little more space between the light and the body than they should. did you have this problem? and can you adjust that? Thanks!
