LED Headlights for our Zs
Looks like GE is selling 5"x7" LED headlights. Price is bit steep at about $240 each but installation is a simple plug-in unlike HIDs that require splicing in ballasts. Also, according to the sales literature, quality of light (color temp at 5,600k and even distribution and cut off) seems to be right there with HIDs. It's seems to be an interesting option for our ZR-1s.

Based on light spectrum comparison, definitely better then halogen. |

Re: LED Headlights for our Zs
The cost benefit of the LEDs though is longer life.
15,000 hours is a LONG time and carry a 3 year warranty. Color me impressed.

Re: LED Headlights for our Zs
Interesting. I saw these installed on a car show that was doing a custom build, was wondering how they performed. I wasn't able to find the $240 price, but Amazon has them at $280 and they had a few reviews and all said they performed well.

Actually you are refering to the $99 and less Ebay HID kits. My kit was plug and play from CorvetteHID.com including the ballasts. All 'Kits" and I use that term loosely are NOT the same. Neat with the LEDS. I was wondering when that was going to come along. I wonder if they use one large LED or multiples to acheive ALL the light? I wonder if the housings are plastic.... I hate those as they tend to haze vs. glass

Re: LED Headlights for our Zs
Those are very cool - but I think I'll wait til they get down around $50 apiece. Or I won't get em. $500 + for headlights is ridiculous in my opinion...
