Anything out there that’s better?

They're likely the same as all the others. All of those "brands" on Amazon are just sellers trying to get around Amazon's trademark requirement. That's why you see so many nonsense brands listed.

I just last week put a set on my 2000. Very easy to install and look great to me and much more affordable

Thanks for the info. My driver side sunvisor needs replacement.
Having never changed one, how hard is it to do so?

Dodgeturbpo 04-09-2024 08:21 PM

There is good google on how to do it, the driver side didn’t come off as easy but the whole thing only took about 1/2 hr and it think they look great. Good luck

You need a flat screwdriver to fit in the sun visor slot, and rotate the visor with the screwdriver, using the visor for leverage, then a small pocket flat screwdriver for the electrical connector. I think the driver side goes counter clockwise and the passenger side goes clockwise so come off.

Good to hear the aftermarket visors are pretty decent in terms of quality. The OEM visors are not top quality, that’s for sure.

I bought these exact ones a few weeks ago after much research, they're the exact ones a lot of places sell for 2/3x as much.

Installation is a ten minute job, the only part that's difficult is getting the plug out/back in again (you just have to fiddle with it a while).

Quality is great, they're a different material to the OE ones but they go well with the interior, the lights are better quality and they feel very sturdy. Also easy to peel off the airbag stickers when they turn up if you wish.

Can I ask what brand you installed and what do you think about materials and quality?
Thanks for any replies

I just deleted mine. Much better; always in the way and I never used them anyhow.

Just ordered my BUDSIN pair on 1 April and installed them this week. Very pleased ! Lyle of C&S Corvettes has a very informative video on the replacement. Yes, they are probably the same as all of the other Amazon vendors, but they were running a sale and I jumped on it. I also was impressed with the replacement visor clips from APPERFiT. They help keep the visor from rattling in place like the 26-year old OEM clips. They were a bit scarier to replace as the glue used to hold the upper windshield vinyl covering had also glued the clips in place. After removing that clip mounting screw, it was a slow but very firm pull downward to get the glue to break loose from the vinyl. Installation of the new clips was as easy as advertised. I am pleased with the improvement of new visors and clips. Wife is pleased with the soft LED light of the new visor mirrors as well. WIN-WIN !

It's basically causing a collapse of the US patent office, too. It's a mess.

Hary Gahtoe 04-11-2024 06:18 PM

So are my old sunvisors. I ordered a set of Budsin that will fix my broken framed originals. Think I will get the retainer clips also.

Mr31FlavorsVette 04-11-2024 09:33 PM

These are the ones I purchased from Amazon last August, right now they are $49.99 plus a 6% discount at checkout: Nakuuly Sun Visor Pair with Updated LED Lighted Vanity Mirror Compatible with Corvette C5 1997-2004 Replaces 10442033 10442034 Left Driver and Right Passenger Side Black Sunvisors. These held up way longer than the set I purchased from a CF vendor at 3x the price and were recommended by fellow members when I was shopping. I'm not sure why the Amazonfit popup now says these do not fit my 2000 C5?? My review for these is still posted.

Got the exact same pair last year, they fit well and look good as well. The "stickers" peeled right off. The only "negative" would be the LED lights are not very bright.
