Default Re: HEADLIGHT UPGRADE

I just upgraded my headlights, but I used the instructions from a post on Corvette forum.

The reason the ballast is needed is so the fog lights and high beams work correctly. To do that you only need a small amount of resistance, not the full load that the off the shelf resistors take on to simulate the original bulb.

I like his mod because the entire thing can be contained to the bulb itself and no modifications to the car.

Here is the link to my reply where I posted my results. The actual instructions are further up in the thread.

I bought these off of eBay. Plug and play requiring zero modifications. Hi and low beams work perfectly and are at least 3x brighter than stock. Fog lamps work perfectly, and they are very inexpensive. Awesome upgrade to our pathetic OEM lights. Highly recommended!

72 Watts eachs - boy, that's a LOT for LED. Guess these simply can burn other cars off earth's face and thereby help saving fuel otherwise wasted for a full throttle passing maneuver

Likely explains why the fogs work properly with no mods.
That about 50% more watts than stock.
Most LED's are less.
Interesting though.
Thanks for posting!

I like the stock look of these. A little $$$ though.

Very nice, thanks for the hint! Too sad they're not asymmetric.

I put the Sylvania Silverstars in my car. Much brighter than original, not too salty and plug and play.
