Re: LED headlight upgrade
Do you have an eBay link? Curious as to what ones you ended up with.

* Rotate headlights half way. I normally turn the headlight switch to full on followed by switch to off position and back to parking light only position when in desired position. Or, use manual knob to rotate to half way position. * Now, two screws on the sides of the light bezel is accessible and remove able. * Remove two T-15 tore head screws on lower edge of the housing. Get ready to catch the housing as these bolts are removed. * With the housing removed four screws for the stainless steel band trim holding the headlight in headlight bucket can be removed. * Pull the headlight forward just enough to expose electrical connector to the headlight and disconnect. * remove headlight. Installation of new LED headlight is the reverse of above steps. Refer to Hib's picture and re-wire driving light ground wire (green wire) to counter inoperable driving lights caused by factory wiring where driving light ground is through the high beam ground: http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/...age=799_11.jpg Last edited by secondchance; 01-19-2016 at 09:32 PM. |

Re: LED headlight upgrade
What the ... ?! You guys drive your Zs at NIGHT?! Isn't that like driving in the rain
 Seriously, this looks like a great upgrade. I know we won't be driving in the snow, but since LEDs don't produce much heat, the lens could get coated with ice. We've had this discussion on a snowplow forum and the big downside is having to clear them off as you're plowing.

Re: LED headlight upgrade
Maybe Robert should look at this as a "group buy" candidate.
