*****C6 Headlight swap thread, step in with color/location/year*****
Here's the deal, 2011 GM has started offering the headlights in different colors(silver/black, etc.)
I am working on a cost effective solution to change/modify the headlight housings to your desired color, currently the C6 HL's require the lens to be removed to alter the color, about $6-800
Now, $800 to modify your perfectly good lens(most garaged C6's) seems hard to justify; the lens needs to be destroyed upon removal to access the HL bezel/background to alter color
Of course we will most likely WANT the silver/black/cyber grey and maybe white HL's here, but the options are endless
I will start a list in the next post of color/location/year for anyone looking to swap/TRADE their HL's
You, the Corvette Forum member will arrange shipping and removal/install of HL's(I can help if local to CT/FL or via phone)

That's funny I was just thinking about starting a thread like this. I'd be interested in swapping for a black set. I don't want to tear into mine though.
I have a mint set of millennium yellow lights that would look killer on a black or cyber grey car. I'm in northern VA.

I have a set of VY head lights for sell due to changing out. asking 600 obo. I think they'd look pretty darn cool on a black vette. You don't see that very often.
I'm also open to trades of sorts.

Why not post what you have and what you want....
Example:
Hello everyone, my name is John Doe, I live Houston TX, and have a Black Corvette. I would love it if someone with a Yellow Corvette would trade me his yellow headlights for my black ones! My car,

^^^ A swapping thread like that would be cool. That way we could direct everyone to this thread if they want different color headlights.
If this is not what the OP wanted, then Im sorry and this can be deleted

The way it would look, black with yellow, it looks very aftermarket ricer. It's definitely not a "from the factory" kind of look. Thought there's a reason I bought the stealth bulbs.. OH right, to get rid of the egg yolk look in the headlights

I have a set of Machine Silver Lights from an 07 Z with only 700 miles on them. They are perfect!
I would trade them for Black or Cyber Grey.
If you have a Cyber Grey car, it would look like this here:
