LOL. Trying to demean people because their opinion differs from yours. Very cool. NOT. If your car is the "leader" then I'll choose not to follow, thank you. Having money to mod doesn't equal good taste.
The dealer's told you what they think the problem is. No one on this forum is likely to be able to diagnose this problem remotely. Either have the shop that installed the LEDs disconnect them, and see if your problem goes away, or find another shop and pay them to diagnose the problem.
And try not to call them names if you don't like what they tell you.
And you're an a**hole. Again, just because someone doesn't like your mods is no reason to insult them. He's entitled to his opinion, as you are to yours. Many of us would argue that Chevy's stylists are far more talented than you are. Tacky is as tacky does, and a**hole is as a**hole does. You've proven to everyone what you are.

Yeah randomly pulling out the "i have a lot of money" card when someone disagrees with you is a pretty immature move. Coming from several other forums i can say there's a certain perception of this forum in particular. Cashcrew's latest comments completely reiterate that perception unfortunately.

Don't have much experience with electrical issues, I guess. They can arise at any time. A connections that was dry could now have water in it. A wire that's been rubbing against something for 5 months could have finally worn through the insulation and have an intermittent short. I could come up with half a dozen more possibilities.
But it seems that you only want answers that fit your desired outcome.

Prove or disprove the lights. Is there a way to disconnect them without ripping everything apart? Unhook them. See if the problem persists. It will at least be a place to start and be either the culprit or totally eliminated as the cause of the problem.

I agree that West Coast should try to disconnect them as painlessly as possible to see if the problem goes away. Who knows what they spliced into to power them, though it's still a head scratcher to me. Electric stuff can be a real pain. Good luck!

I am looking for feedback about L.E.D lighting systems on the new C7. I had a system "Professionally" installed. The system was purchased from West coast Corvette. Just recently, I have experienced the vehicle refusing to start. 1x the dash display said "Depress Clutch" and "Service Rear axle." If you put the ebrake on....it would lock up the rear end up. But, for what ever reason, it started. I took it to the dealer & they claimed to have corrected the problem. Just this week, it once again, refused to start. Then, surprisingly it started w/no messages in the dash display, expect now its showing the dreaded "Check Engine" light, but it started. I contacted the dealer and now their telling me its because of the L.E.D. lighting system. I don't feel that's the case because the C7 has been running all spring & summer w/o any incidents of not starting. Now, all of a sudden it's suppose to be the lighting system? If the lighting system was the problem why did it take 5 months for it to start acting like this? It would of done this from the jump when it was installed. The custom shop I had do the work stands by their work & will do whatever needs to be done if it's actually the lighting system. I just don't see it being the cause because I don't think West Coast Corvette would knowingly sell items that would harm the vehicle. Corvettes are all they deal with, so I know they wouldn't risk their reputation in our arena.

mine from distance- You should be able to disconnect the main power for the LED, Mine is only connected at the front PDC and a separate ground. So 1 wire removed and the whole lighting system is away from the system. I track mine as well as show at night, so it gets looks at both places. I do not and will not, drive with the lights on, I don't need any more attention out there. But the shows are a hit, especially with the kids, and that's what its about, the smiling faces.

Do you have any crackers to go with all that cheese?
Maybe some soy sauce for the rice?
It's ummm unique. I'll stick with tasteful mods I think, but as long as you like it
In all seriousness though I hope you get your car fixed asap, sorry it's having issues.
