Re: European tail light harness
Whenever you go to Italy with your ZR-1, be sure your anti theft equipment is okay.
Never let the car alone. Me for my part I would never drive a Corvette to Italy, especially not a ZR-1. I have to say I like some Italian cars. I would like to get one day an Alfa Romeo Montreal V8. The car was built from 1970-1977. Its V8 is amazing, 2.6 litre, 4 overhead cams, dry sump, fuel injection and 200 hp! This was great at that time with such a small V8. My wife drives a new Abarth 500. Small car, but really fast. If I would have already one, I would never drive a Montreal to Italy, nor an Abarth 500, never an outstanding car. A normal Fiat, yes! By the way, I never liked these Europeans lights on Corvettes. In my opinion they are ugly! Franz |

I think that the first part of your message is OFF TOPIC, and i don't want continue to be OFF TOPIC.... We was speaking of tail light... OK...i need to do this midify because here in Italy the totally red lenses are illegal.... I think my modify is the right compromise between totally red or external orange lens and internl red lens (orrible for me) |

Re: European tail light harness
Hallo Thomas ZR1,
Are the tail lights the only thing that has to be changed for a Z to pass inspection in Germany. Does the older cars still have to pass emmission test? I live part of the year in Augsburg. Danke, Nelson 007 |
Re: European tail light harness
Thomas:
129.95$*4=519.8$+shipping+27% (italian tax) You must buy also the new harness: 200$ I think the total is about 820$ (with shipping) In Italy you take the price in euro and add the tax: 605euro+27%=about 770 euros For me so much expensive... My tail light fit perfectly too!!!! |
Re: European tail light harness
Max
$520 for the tail lights + $60 for the shipping is $580...this are 445 Euro + the Italian taxes: 567 Euro. The original tail light harness is very easily to modify, you won`t need a new one...it`s no problem. |

One of the best things with a corvette in Germany is: you can nearly do what you want with the car! The German inspection doesn`t know anything about corvettes. They are experts for Europian cars. But: you should be a nice guy if you have a date with the engineers at the inspection. The c4 is a 20 year old car...my car is a condition like new. My car at the inspection means everybody is astonished: What a great car! awesome sound! yes...that`s real v8 sound! Nobody realize the modifications. They can not compare it with other c4 corvettes because there are none. For sure, the relevant modification are registered in the car`s titel by special inspections over the years like Porsche brakes, Bilstein coil over suspension or the special rims and stuff like that...btw my car has the US style tail lights, I don`t like the Europian lamps...corvette flash lights has to be red!!! Every car has to pass an emission test at the insection, that`s right...but that`s no problem if the cats are on board...btw don`t remove them from the car, it stinks horrible! ....don`t be afraid for the German inspection if your corvette is in a good condition! |
Re: European tail light harness
Danke Thomas ZR-1 for the information.
My biggest concern was in emission inspection. Do you have problems finding someone to work on the car? I was going to bring over one of my older Corvettes but they are BB and a couple of LT1's high performance. My Z is the only Corvette that I own that's not too bad in the wallet concerning gas. Viele Grüße und vielen Dank, Nelson007 |
