Default Re: LED headlight upgrade

I have driven in the cold and probably will do again. I am leaning towards the hid lights.

Corvette mods has the projector lens for an extra $99.00

Looking for something simple, reliable, and effective.

I prefer a plug and play system.

Default Re: LED headlight upgrade

just bought the genssi led lights. I have the corvettemod HID kit in a box that I will be selling. It is the diamond cut lens with little led running lights on the sides. complete kit never installed in its box. I did install the hid fog lights but the headlights were not. it has the 55 watt balast which was extra. dont know what to ask.. maybe half price. I dont believe corvettemods sells the c4 hid anymore.

I will sell for 100 buyer pays shipping. send me pm if interested.

dont mean to hijack thread just posted that I bought the genssi leds and when I get my car back from sgc they will be installed and will post my findings.

My wife got me these for Xmas. I have yet to install them. I am already running LED foglights and the light is almost Blue in color, but they are slightly brighter than stock. I will put these headlights in sometime over the winter. I'm sure they will be brighter than stock.

This video sums up the brightness. Can't wait to get them on the car.
are your lights 7x6 or 7x5? your link took me to a 7x6 headlight. i cant find 7x5 genssi hid lights. i saw your box says 5x7 lamp. where did you get yours?

Only a few bucks more and knowing they are DOT approved is worth it.

I can actually see the road. LOL.
They are the same model number A0102 yours is just in black and both are DOT approved.

I will go this route since they are DOT approved.

Now that I have both LED headlights the fogs no longer work. I am going to fix that.
Do you know how much those lights weight versus the original lights? More, less, the same?

Thanks

The amazon AD I posted is the exact same place I bought my headlights. They are 5x7 or 7x6. They are the same headlight.

They weigh quite a bit more. The stock lights are all plastic and weigh maybe 1 pound. The new lights have a huge metal heatsink. If I had to guess I would say maybe 5 lbs.
