Last 2 weeks for special pre-order pricing. Next week the lenses land on our shores, then 1 more week for customs to clear.
If you can't wait and need them now, the product is still in stock shipping daily

BTW - here's the difference between the sealant so you can see for yourself why the black stuff takes so much longer. Gray sealant can generally be pulled out in a steady pressure motion with needle nose; black sealant requires countless prying, pulling, and swearing.
The end result is the same with the open groove being ready for the new sealant, but the difference in labor time is 2X.

Batch 3 Just arrived.
They are being shipped out as quickly as we can, we have about 50 back orders for people that wanted to wait, the truck is loaded and the trailer is getting loaded now.

QUESTION AND ANSWER [advertorial]
Name: Daryl M
Email: dmXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX@XXXXXXX.XXX
Telephone: 6XX-XXX-XXXX
Q:
I purchased a set of Corvette C6 headlight lenses a few months ago. I remember reading on the Corvette forum that you offered a service to replace the lenses. Now that driving season is over for me, I am looking to install the lenses. It looks like the procedure may be a little more complicated than I wish to tackle. Do you still offer this service and if so, how much do you charge for it? I have a 2006 Z06. Thanks.
A: yes, absolutely we offer this service.
it's broken down at $250 for grey sealant removal and replacement + cost of sealant and $350 for black sealant removal and replacement. It takes 2 hours longer to do the black sealant on average. We also offer an expedite fee for 24 hour turn around on the labor for $150 more.
We offer sealant, gaskets, angel eyes, demon eyes, and laser lens etching.

Autumn is almost over and the winter months are likely to see many of you put the cars in storage in the colder climates, now is the time to consider getting some lenses for that winter project

Gents - I received my kit last week & was saving up for this weekend to do the install. I've got the lights apart BUT chickened out when it came to doing the angel eyes... I just can't find enough info on the website regarding how to wire them up. I had purchased all 3 rings for the low / high beams & the turn signal. I was thinking that the I was prepared to put the lenses back together with a silicone sealant temporarily until its time to do the angel eyes & use the butyl sealant to seal them up properly .... or just send them to you to complete the angel eyes install... Either way I need a bit more gouge on wiring up the lights..Thanks!

No problem on the wiring. They are basic 12V. Do you know which of the 2 wires on your turn signals are the standard parking light and ground? If so, just tap to them.
Otherwise, you can run a wiring harness.
I don't think this will directly address your question for wiring, but if you go to steps 4 and onward, it's the general idea of how to get the rings wired up.

edit for 2nd question... the gap for the small ring & the outside high beam... Do you fill it or just leave it?

ok - last question - for now... When installing the large ring for the turn signals - should I mount the ring to the painted insert (like the 2 smaller rings) - or do I need to cut the face off of the turn signal lens & mount the ring to the end of it?
edit for 2nd question... the gap for the small ring & the outside high beam... Do you fill it or just leave it?

Gap is normal, completely disappears once installed and the lights are back on the car.
For the turn signal area, just remove the turn signal cover itself, looks a LOT cleaner that way.

New headlight lenses installed
New headlight lenses installed over the weekend. Top picture is after. Second picture is both headlight assemblies out with one old lens & one new lens installed.
While I had the car up on jacks I took the opportunity to replace the fog lamps with LED's from JW. Holy Smokes what a difference.
I still have the trim rims to wire up to a power source.
The last picture was my ultimate goal - to have all 3 trim rings, but that meant further modifications to the blinker lens cover - basically cutting it open & having the bulb exposed. When I was cleaning the internals before assembly I went to wipe one of the blinker reflectors & the chrome wiped right off! I had some chrome spray paint but that only does so well - I couldn't have the home chrome job showing in my new headlight... so I'll either scrounge another reflector, open up the lights & install the 3rd trim ring - or leave it as is...

Bob, I have a suggestion that the last customer with 3 rings did - paint that turn signal black and use a high powered LED bulb that blinks amber but is white when parking light (in stock and ready to ship - wink wink nudge nudge).
