Worth every penny! And I agree... The interior kit DEF has the most impact on the passengers too... It gives the car a much more "young" and "new age" feel over the orange and yellow factory bulbs...

Very nice !
BUT, how do the tail lights look in the day light? A member of our group had LED tail lights that looked great at night, but you couldn't hardly see them in the day time - brake or turn signals. Have you tried them and been a fair distance from them during the day? Just curious, as I like the look, but fear for the saftey of them being dimmed by sunlight.

Looks great! Im getting the LED halo lights from them, and thinking about the HID fogs. How bright are they just by themselves? I want to take weight off the front of my street driven race car so Im thinking of ditching the headlights all together and just using the 6000K fogs.

Thanks so much for posting. I was wondering what mine would look like with LED tails. Now I know since we have the same car. It definitely looks good. Congrats!

Only problem with the fog lights are the way they are mounted vertically. They don't have a horizontal cut off and you'll be blinding on-coming drivers.

They are low enough though that the lights wont be in their eyes. My BMW projector lights travel farther to the sides than the Corvette fogs do.

Those fogs were really lighting up those reflectors high down the road. I'd think they'd be an issue, especially on a two lane road. Yosi even mentions in the Fog HID GP post that they should only be used when you use your hi-beams.

To be 100% honest... if you are replacing the fogs and ditching the headlamps I wouldnt be worried about on coming traffic. BUT! A problem that I have noticed with JUST running the fogs is that the beam of light does not extend as far as the headlamp. Something you might want to look into...

We do recommend to only use your fog lights during back road driving or with your high beams on. HOWEVER we have sold tons of these kits and have had some people say that they never get flashed by on coming traffic and others say that they do get flashed.
I believe it may have something to do with the fog light housings of the newer C4's compared to the older C4's. I think that the newer housings don't reflect the light as much resulting in less glare for on coming drivers. While the older style C4's (like my 84') reflects the light quite a bit resulting in more glare. Just a theory...
