Default Headlight Lens

The headlight lenses on my 2006 are starting to check. Look alike there’s a million replacements out there. What’s a good set and is it really worth paying 300+ for some or are the cheaper ones decent?

Talk to vendor RLSebring. He has been refurbishing Corvette headlights longer than I've been here. He offers a diy kit or he'll do the job for you. Have not seen a negative comment about his work.

Contact RLSebring and buy some of his replacement covers. His have a long history and good reputation here and are not expensive. It will cost you more to have them installed (assuming you don't do it yourself) than the cost of the lenses.

Sounds like that’s the way to go. Got looking at the LED type a bit. Way cool but not sure I want to spend 1300.00 on headlights. Good looking though. Decisions....

There is another LED upgrade option that allows you to use your original headlight housings. Might be worth a look.
