GC,

We did hijack Scott's thread so thanks for new. Sorry Scott. I am still very interested in your underhood option.

I posted on the old thread of my interest in group buy for at least the interior lighting set as well as considering other options.

Thanks to both of you,

Paul

That was in Scotts thread this is for the interior lights set only

[captcorvette]

Yep I know. I am interested in the interior lights but like the bright/blue/white light colour under your hood. It was just a comment about your under hood light colour.

Just got an email from Yosi he will prepare a 20% coupon codeword to use at check out for registry members only. Stay Tuned and PM me once I post up I have the code coupon. GC :cheers:

[GOLDCYLON]

I forgot to say I will post up how my interior looks in the bright white LEDs. Any interest from the group seeing those pics? I will wait until its nice and dark

[Paul in SC]

Absolutely...

[GOLDCYLON]

OK I have the code word. Yosi has agreed to give us 20% off the interior lights he sells for the entire month of FEB!!!! :handshak:

[Paul in SC]

Nice deal. Very generous on the big ticket items.

Thanks GC, for working this out :cheers: and thank Yosi as well. :handshak:

I will let you know when purchased. Probably later ths month, after time to consider options. You have the cool whites that I want to see and may consider the greens since the Z is green with the black interior. Warm white may be a good option as well. Other opinions?

Paul

[GOLDCYLON]

Whle the colored option look neat I like to be able to see in the interior lol. That why I went with Cool white. Check out my HID thread with my Green LED cove lights.

Brett 20% off his interiors led light kit only

[GOLDCYLON]

Folks to be clear this discount is for the interior led kit only. I reread his email his discount is for ANY of the interior led kits he sells. Still a good deal

[HAWAIIZR-1]

GC,

Thanks for the offer and I surely can use more light and less heat in the interior. Please post the photos when you get a chance too.

Craig

[GOLDCYLON]

I need to find somewhere totally dark. Will do when I return home

[GOLDCYLON]

Ok zero flash and prob at the limits of my camera. I have the mirror lights installed, Door handle lights and foot well lights completed so far. While these may not look bright in the pics I assure you they are significantly brighter than the OEM yellowish bulbs. I have not done the Halos yet as im not thrilled about having to unmount my harness bar which is in the way.

You can clearly see my green aviators helmet bag with todays mail in the passenger seat lighted by the door light alone on the passenger side. My seats are wearing black sheepskins so you will not see a reflection shine from the lights in the leather. If I had no sheepskin covers you would. You can see the light from my mirror overpowers the FX3 and seat controls orange night glow. My drivers door is open to take the photos so you are missing out of the drivers door light as well which normally refelects into the cabin.

Again not a mod for everybody but a smart mod that uses less power then OEM, is brighter than OEM, lasts longer than OEM bulbs and uses todays technology. Really a no brainer. GC

Ordered mine on Sunday. Should be here soon. Cant wait!

[GOLDCYLON]

Cool !! For the hush panels you have have to remove them and replace the lamps from the rear of the hush panelsjust FYI. Dont try to pop out the lenses from the front side. The lamps have hook and catch system for those bulbs the LEDS do as well. Place the row of LEDS towards the lens so they face the interior. It will be obvious when you look at the bulbs.

I have asked for a LED for the console underside and corvette HID doesnt have those sourced yet.

[HAWAIIZR-1]

Thanks for posting GC. Like you said, no brainer and a benefit all the way around. I know how hot the stock bulbs get in a short time too. :cheers:

Cool LMK the impression when the first group gets these installed. GC

I'm going to piggy-back here since the window is closing for this one time build of Underhood Engine Lamps. (2 days left)
http://www.zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?t=19390&page=4
This is a custom build specifically for our car.
You won't see anything like this available commercially :
1. All in one assembly (no wires and loose parts)
2. 8x brighter than but with 10% of the power used than stock
3. hermetically sealed (the assembly not the kit)
4. focused beam to the engine compartment

But wait.....if you order now.....
nah, that's it. That's all.
Here is what the engine looks like. It actually looks brighter but you know how cameras are.

GC,

Thanks again for doing this group buy and great dealing with Yosi too. At first I hesistated with the package price, but these are surely worth it and they are high quality bulbs too, unlike some of the junk you will get from Ebay. I am very impressed and photos will not do this any justice. Why did I wait so long?????? I bought the white and installed all today except for the cargo ones to the left and right of the driver and passenger heads. I ran out of time, but I will just say they are awesome and difficult to explain further. I think the biggest plus of it all was the bulbs are the right bulbs and no guessing. The only ones I don't need are the map lights since Andrew's compass mirror come with them already.:cheers:

[HAWAIIZR-1]

GC and Scott,

Thanks for the all the emphasis and motivation on LED lamps for interior and underhood lamp. After all of the impressive results with more light, I continued to replace all the other bulbs on the car including the glove box, console, license plate, spare tire/emergency, etc. and really love it.:dancing What a difference it makes to have the bright lights in the interior and exterior from the dull, yellowish incandescent lamps. :handshak:

LEDS its an addiction.... HIDs next ?????

Addition is a good way to describe it. Yep, I did HIDs a few months ago and would never go back. HIDs are a must do for sure..........:cheers:

I did the HID fogs recently and basically use them rather than my halogen headlamps. Which HIDs did u go with? I bought CorvetteMods LEDS for the interior lighting, reverse, cornering, running, and license plate lamps. I keep forgetting that I could probably leave the door open all night and not run down the battery.

That sounds good and I have not done the fogs yet, only upgraded to higher watt bulbs years ago and I guess that would be next on the list as you can never have too much lighting.

The HIDs I have are Hikari HID Conversion Kit, H4, 55W, 8000K, white light. It was a gift to me from local ZR-1 owner in Japan and I could not believe how easy it was to install even if I could not read the instructions.

It sounds like we have replaced all the same exterior, but I did not do the reverse lamps yet and will look into that. I upgraded the reverse to higher watt some years ago and will check out what is available in LED. Thanks for the tip. Yeah, the LEDs are so cool how they don't get hot and not yellowish light. :cheers: That is another benefit if something is left on by accident too.

[XfireZ51]

Did you do the side reverse lights? Those are the only one I did not replace.

Hey Dom,

Sorry, I had to wait until the weekend to check it since my memory is only about 5 minutes these days. I replaced the side marker with LED, but when checking the reverse light I see did not with only the stock 1156 bulb in there. I am going to research the rest that I may have missed in the front too. As for my Euro tail lamps, I think I only did the stop/tail and not the amber turn signals so I'll get to those too and sooner or later get every bulb LED. I did not mess with bulbs in the dash yet. :cheers:

[XfireZ51]

Is the stop/taillight a series of LEDs or an LED "bulb"?

[HAWAIIZR-1]

Just an LED bulb; I want to say 1157s for my Euro set. So I just need some 1156 LEDs for my turn signals behind the amber lens and those reverse on the side rear. Thanks for mentioning it.

[Corbusa]

So there are LED's to replace the 1157's bulbs? ( tail and brake ? blinker ?)

[HAWAIIZR-1]

Yes, there are and I would say to use the guidance from places like superbrightleds.com and keep the bulbs the same color as the lens for best results:

Corbusa-san,
Dou itashimashite. Now you have just exceeded all the Japanese I know.......:handshak:

[HAWAIIZR-1]

Did you do the side reverse lights? Those are the only one I did not replace.

I went and checked all my bulbs today and saw that I replaced the reverse lights (around license plates) with Wagner 795 (50 Watt) bulbs some time ago. I think I also recall replacing one of the relay switches too for the life of the switch on the transmission and maybe due to higher watt bulb for reverse bulb.

Fast forward now to the days where LEDs are standard, what did you replace yours with? I see that corvettemods.com (also known as Mid America it seems) has even HID reverse lamp kit ($70); their LEDs for back up lamps are ($28). I don't use reverse a whole lot, but it sure is nice to have a lot of light when backing up. I would imagine the HIDs will be way brighter than my 50Ws and wondering the comparison to LEDs. I definitely want to replace the side reverse with LEDs.

Thanks for your thoughts.
