    Personally, I think the C6 is the best modern corvette body style, and this makes it 10 times better

      Agreed. The c6 body is flawless. The c7 is great, but it looks like a feminine version of the c6. Like it's the c6's twin sister. The c8 is futuristic and I love the damn thing, but it just doesn't look like a Corvette. No hate on the c8 though, I'd get one in a hot minute if I could afford it. These c8 lights on the c6 look amazing.

    I want to say, I truly like the new lights. I ordered mine and I install them. I will say this, though I watch the installation process that you all have awesome however, I removed the top bolts under the hood from the front of the fender, the tabs under the wheel well And I was able to reach my hand under the wheel well, and unscrew those three bolts that hold the light down, and I was able to pull the lights out without removing the fender and the two bolts on the side of the fender underneath the wheel well, I didn’t have to remove those light came out very easy, so the bumper does not have to be removed at all. It was very easy I just pulled up on the fender, pulled up on the front bumper a little bit got my hand on it. I lift up the light and it came right out.

    Just ordered these GTR C6 headlamps for my 09 ZO6. Just confirming cause you mentioned it. If I just plug and play and do not utilize the auxiliary fuse box wiring, that I WILL get the amber top led as my daytime running lamp?? In other words if I simply instal and plug in that the amber led strip light on top will illuminate amber when car is running during the day? I like the amber light on top. Thanks for this and taking questions.

    Another great concept, however, here's my biggest gripe with LED headlight assemblies (or retrofits for that matter). For those of us living in northern winter-prone climates it is essential to have functional headlights during heavy snow/sleet.
    And by this I mean that whenever LED headlight lenses get caked up with snow, sleet, or ice, it becomes nearly impossible to see as the light output exponentially decreases and the beam pattern gets distorted into a spot light.
    What I would ideally love to see is companies like Morimoto and GTR Lighting coming up with a lens-defrosting technology for assemblies like this.
    Now I do realize there are the 2 Stroke 3.0 or LED sealed beams with heating elements but I'm talking of a less primitive, more integrated technology.

    Did you guys really measure the stock output through the foggiest lens ever seen on a C6? That makes the percentage gain seem a bit snake-oily. Test the output on a low mile or clear lens C6 and see the difference then. The output on my C6 is exponentially brighter than what you show. It also looks like there is a film on the driver's side headlight as bubbles can be seen on the outer edge of the lens.

    • @HeadlightRevolution
      @HeadlightRevolution  2 роки тому

    Made in chinia, how How long will these lenses last and when the lenses go south where do you get replacements? People don’t think it is things always cool to look at until it’s nice and if they will garbage lenses like most of the stuff that comes out of China the last year or two maybe but then again most prima donnas hide a Corvettes in the garage so maybe they’ll list

    • @HeadlightRevolution
      @HeadlightRevolution  3 місяці тому

      Ah, yes, the classic 'Made in China' concern - understandable! But let's be real, whether it's phones, TVs, or half the gadgets in your home, lots of high-quality stuff comes from there. As for the lenses, they’ll last as long as your love for squinting at oncoming traffic allows 😉. And when they do go 'south,' no need to panic - replacements are always available. Now, if you're planning to treat your Corvette like a garage queen, those lenses might last a lifetime just sitting pretty! Either way, we've got your back when it's time for a refresh.
