C6 tail light pattern
Hello everyone!! My name is Max from Concord, CA. I'm developing a new tail light for the C6. I've attempted many times to find this information at a local dealership, but they never have a C6 on the lot. I'm hoping that someone who owns one of these can help me out. Perhaps someone who
is in concord.
What I need: Photos of the stock lighting pattern for each tail light scenario. ie. When the lights are on a the left blinker is on or when all lights are off and the brakes go on: Which lights are dim, fully illuminated or off? I've had a heck of a time finding this information, so can anybody help me??

Concord has no Corvettes? I'm sure someone here can help you in your search.
I've been thinking about installing strobes in my taillights/ headlights. I was thinking about wiring the tail into the ABS circuitry. Don't know about the headlights though.Maybe when I want to pass...
Maybe a Corvette with "wig~wags..."

the c6 has a very simple "pattern" as do most with only RED lens
it will be the same as just about any chevy with only one tail light....
(c6 has two that do the same pattern)
i installed the euro lens and had to make a circuit so i could make the amber lights work....

Where did you buy the euro lens and can you provide a diagram of how you rewired the circuits for the ambers?
I don't think anyone sells the wiring adaptor yet and I only found one place that had the amber/red lens.
Thanks.

While you are at it, please consider making the lens of the taillight flush with the rear fascia instead of "frenched" in (inset) like the stock lenses. I would buy those in a heartbeat.

3rd for LEDs
I got the CHMSL LED unit from Southern Car Parts, its a Brite Ideas
unit I believe.
The LEDs are no where near as bright as I expected, I am 1/2 tempted
to open the unit and change the resistors to make the Osrams come
alive. I want burnt retinas when I jam on the brakes. The Osram LEDs
are very bright, I suspect them turned them down to be nice to
people or meet DOT specs.

Hey guys, we still need photos (or a video) of the stock taillights in action.
For example, how they look when:
1: off
2: running lights
3: brake pedal depressed
4: running lights, left signal on / right signal on
5: brake pedal depressed, left signal on / right signal on
I'm in a hurry to get these photos (or video might be better) so the factory can continue development.
Help me and I'll give you a set at cost
And yes they are going to be LEDs.
Thank you!
