Default Led headlights

I had a chance to rent a C8 prior to getting on the MM wait list. The headlights seemed a little week for the short time I drove it in the dark.
They we’re white bright but didn’t project very far on low. Highs we’re a little better.
Are you happy with the headlights or do you wish for brighter LEDs. I have seen Paragon show a LED light bar but not a review.

Thanks

I'm happy with them. They could be better like just about anything, but I live in the country and they work just fine for my needs.

Most cars come with the headlights adjusted to ensure no glare, not best vision. You can raise them up a little bit. Don't raise the driver's side too much, though, or you will cause a lot of glare to oncoming drivers.

I find the C8 headlights to be quite good.

The headlamp assemblies also have internal leveling. The clip below from the bulletin that introduced corvette in 2020 (its in the stickies) mentions it, and it appears in the Service Manual. The parts list info for it seems to indicate that the headlamps with leveling are used on cars with "ground clearance control" which is the front lift system.

Driving home from the Museum the left headlight looked like it was pointed severely right .

The visibility was ok, but most of the night it was heavy fog and rain.
