Try eBay. There were some for sale 2 weeks ago. If I can find the seller, I'll send you a link.

just the tail lights?? i think the side markers are different too......

when i get home i'll list some part number for the tails....

RT 10440714
LT 10440713

if i'm not mistaken the outers (above part numbers) stop (red) - turn (amber)
the inner lamps are "fog" lamps (they are all red and reflector matches outter lens - not sure when those turn on)

euro cars use a different harness and the car needs to be programmed by a dealer to make it all work correctly....

i am using the stock harness - the ambers do not work yet...
have to make a circuit for that - need some time to finish it (did not want to alter the stock harness)

reds will be for stop
ambers for turn and hazard

If you need the euro lights & the car will be in the UK you will need to have the car to have an SVA like any car being inmported in the country its needs to be UK legal.

Do you have an idea how much that is going to cost? I'll call this week, thanks for your help.

Also, I'd be interested in joining the corvette club in UK. Let me know if you have a wed site or how I would do that. Thanks

They are really proud of those lights (ebay) and they don't included the wiring, so even if you buy them they won't work.

I am picking up my 06 Victory Red Coupe the 21st and I am having the dealer install these euro lights(all 4) and the euro sidemarkers and they are going to work like they do on the C-5. The salesman says they sale the complete kit with detailed instructions. I was told there are some relays and other things that have to be done to make it work like the C-5. He said the kit to make it all work(4 red/amber lights,relays and side markers) was $701 and some change.

If anyone wants to know who this is from, Please PM me and I will get you in contact with them.

Richard

What is more crazy about the ebay posting is that you can buy the new euro lens from GM Parts direct for $56 each brand new.

Buyer beware.
