Default Engine Appearance Package

Does anyone know how we can get a sticky or at least a definitive answer to what exactly the Engine Appearance Package includes. i.e. are the two LED’s at the top of the rear engine bay hatch standard on 1LT or 2LT or 3LT.

Or if at all? Are they only available with the Engine Appearance Package?

Does the lighting come from below the CF panels and shine up through?

Look at "Hoosier Daddy" post from 8/21. He posted many photos from Carlisle that completely cleared up the question.

If it doesn't look better than the photos, it needs a solid hood.

I'd rather see my LS3

The two overhead lights are standard on any trim. The leds are under the carbon bits in the engine bay.

He also says “according to staff” so basically no definite answer. Tadge said “two lights up top were standard on all models” others say it’s apart of the appearance package. Still so many question about C8 as to what come w/ what package, options etc...

The two LED lights are on the underside of the engine bay hatch lid and come when its opened from what I was told. No separate switch to turn them on. You can see them in the photo below.

IMO it's a waste of money, adding CF to "dress" something up makes no sense besides there will be aftermarket Pep Boys crap soon enough to go with all the chrome tail light louvers and license plate frames that for some reason jort and New Balance Classics wearing Corvette guys love to wear buy.

In my opinion the aftermarket will do a much better job than Chevrolet. Wait till you see the designs that come from suppliers.
Light shows, color, hell maybe even some hip hop or rock and roll music.
