BOX:


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?

http://www.corvettemods.com/Corvette...t-_p_7971.html

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

http://www.corvettemods.com/84-96-C4...ir_p_9651.html

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.

I agree $400 is steep for headlights..

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

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.

http://www.amazon.com/GENSSI-Project...+headlight+5x7

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.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/H6054-7x6-BL...BVxRBz&vxp=mtr

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.
