Default Side vent lights

I figure some have already done this, but I think it looks nice and adds a little to the side view at night. Just a few LED strips, some wire and a switch.

Fortunately I like my choice . I've had a lot of compliments on the look, but I do realize it is not for everyone

I like the idea, but not sure pink is the right color.

They're okay, but I wouldn't want them on one of my Corvettes.

Just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should do it.

I Like it. But the important thing is you like it. Can you change the colors?
It looks like you have a little light spillover underneath the car

You beat me to it.

OP....you are a newbie so be prepared to get varying opinions on your mods. It looks fine....is there a way to block inside the fender so there is not a pink glow on the ground below?

LOL. I don't know what's worse, the spears or the lights. OP, are you going to put a pink light around your license plate? I hear they're cool also.

Personally, I wouldn't do that to my car, but who cares what I would do? If you like it, awesome! It's your car and all that really matters is what you think of it.

Unfortunately, there will be people on any site that will deem it necessary to belittle others for their choices. Ignore those few petty, immature people on here. Don't let them ruin what is an amazing site with a ton of very helpful people on it!

I didn't want blue or red, just due to any law enforcement issues. I actually wanted purple but didn't find it in a quick search, however the "pink" seemed to go well with the car paint color. Mine are not adjustable, but there are LED strips that have a remote to change color, or that change color periodically on their own. It's just a cosmetic thing, some like them, some don't, but at night when people come up on you from behind they look pretty cool.

If you knew your Corvette history, spears were on the early versions, so these are, in a way, a tribute to the early Corvettes. Personally I really don't care if you like them or not.

I guess. Kind of like putting a Corvette label on your windshield to remind everyone that, yes, this is a real Corvette. I really don't see why you have such hostility. I merely posted what I thought was an idea others might like. There was no reason for you to be so offensive, but so be it. If you don't like the concept, there was no reason to even reply. Go troll someone else please.

Corvettes, Like Harley Davidsons lend themselves to personalization
He might go on a cruise night and be the only one with vent lights. Some won't like it but some will, and some will think where I can get those.
Look at all the vendor selling miorimotos or C7 and C8 lights for C6s. Or the new light with afterburner looks, it just come down to personalization.
If we weren't doing things to our cars there wouldn't be a lot of talk around here

I do have Morimoto headlights and foglights, lol. One of the nicer mods in my opinion. Not cheap though. Thanks for the words
