Received a box yesterday!


Torch Red Ghosted Units



A few points on install. The first I did was Driver’s rear. That is the one that has the most fitment problems as I found out. I had it in and out a dozen times to figure a solution. They recommend pulling on the tab spreading it out further. That is impossible on the front on a Z06 with stage 3... you have almost no opening to work with unless EVERYTHING comes off (I am not un-taping the painted spats) The solution that was easy and made sense was to use a plastic pry tool to gently push tab out. Once you have mild pressure on it just hit it with a focused adapter on a heat gun (You could use a lighter as well) Just make sure tab is out further before you reassemble. Mine snapped in with authority on all the markers after spreading.

A few pics installed. I will add a pic outside when go for a drive today. I think they look great. Anyone who needs more info just PM me...

Exact set I have on my car! Looks great, right?

I love the way they blend in with the car to disappear until they are turned on.

They disappear nicely.

For the fronts, one can lift the front a bit, such as by driving on ramps, and then putting your arm up the opening directly below the side markers. You can reach the inside of where the markers are installed, gently squeeze the tabs starting at the bottom, and pop the side marker out. Very quick and easy.

Love my Oracles .. see they flush to the body …nope, I know there are solutions to this , but to be honest , I never heard anyone say anything but how cool they look . Especially given the lame OEM replacement.

My first C7 came with them installed. First hand knowledge says they also look great on black, and I will definitely put them on the new C7.

Definitely an improvement. Don’t quite understand the “keep it stock” folks who just take what they are given when there are way better options available. Change for the better in my book.
