LED headlight upgrade

Light:




Comparison between stock and new LED light. This is in my garage



LED Fogs, One LED headlight, and One stock headlight.


Now that I have both LED headlights the fogs no longer work. I am going to fix that.

First drive around the block was amazing. I can actually see the road. These lights are a little bluish, but mostly bright white. Now I would like to get a set of really bright Yellow foglight bulbs. Like a 3000-3500 Kelvin color.

$400 for headlights seems a little steep.

Anyone use this kit?

and for the fog lights http://www.corvettemods.com/Corvette...it_p_7972.html

Looks to be the best bang for the buck to me.

And this halo light but it does not appear to be plug and play

Oracle seems to have some nice lights but none on their website for the C4 corvette.


The halo lights look nice. Maybe not for everyone.

the white car int he corvettemods picture is NOT using the corvettemods kit.

that white car has the same CorvetteHID kit that GoldCylon has.

I agree $400 is steep for headlights..

The ones Billy mild posted are only $130 each by doing a web search..

Billy, are these what you bought?

If you drive frequently at night in the rain or snow, I would suggest a set of HIDs with color temp below 4000k.

Concur !

Actually that is not my kit, Mine has a separate projection lens and has a high and low function with an internal blocking blade on a solenoid and is true plug and play. No Cutting, grounding or repinning issues required by lessor systems.

I paid $800 for my kit so....... I did this for safety purposes only. Since I have spotted two Deer, 5 coyotes and a Mule in the road way on my way into work as I leave the house at 430 AM daily Id have to say they have paid for themselves. The Deer were on a road trip about 50 miles south of Elko Nevada and I had considerable time to stop before impact. Many years latter (today) the LEDS would have been a choice for me now since snow and ice are not much of a problem in Arizona usually. However I am 100% satisfied with my HIDs. The cheaper LEDS have a lot of appeal. As -=JEFF=- well knows I have been into LEDs for almost ten years now as they are the future. I been running them on my car daily without a single problem or to date (Failure)

Those don't look like the same brand. Mine are DOT approved.

Only a few bucks more and knowing they are DOT approved is worth it.

That CorvetteMods.com HID kit is suspect. That projector is meant for a halogen bulb, not an HID bulb. You would be better off with this ebay kit.

Thing is these are not ideal unless a proper projector is used. If a halogen projector is used the cutoff won't be right. Granted just about anything is going to be brighter than stock headlights. I still can't believe how bad they were. I am really happy with the LED headlights. I can actually see the road. LOL.
