[QUOTE=PLRX;1572944615]Good idea, here we go. Gents, it is obvious, the LED are 2-3 times brighter.



PLRX thanks for the great picture!!! That tells the story and I was able to show my wife the difference between the two. Now she's not saying "what a waste of money" any more. I put them in to try to wake up the idiot drivers behind me and this will at least help.

Olcrusty, I like them way better. I'll leave them on.

I can't say that about the magnaflow"hi-flow resonators" those sucketrs are coming off.
I was thinking of putting on a Magnaflow sys. Im looking at the 16837 kit , is that what you have?

If you buy your flasher at a local parts store the part# is EL-12 and not EL-2 like I said in previous post. :o
LED lights (bulb socket compatible) come from http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?p...3&dept_id=1384
Flasher comes with the lights. Lights are 48 LED.

Billet Chrome louvers come from http://www.corvettesouth.com/ as I recall.

CHMSL LED (6 LED per bulb, 4 flat bulbs) come from http://www.corvettehid.com/cart/ (not shown)




Daryll (Goldcylon) and I leave few excuses for someone behind us

PLRX, Are they lights made by Depo? Do they cause radio interference? I put Depo LED lights in my C5. Every time I hit the brakes or turn signal I got static in the radio. I thought it was just my car. My son-in-law installed a set in his C5 and experienced the same thing. We both took them out.

I have no radio issues, I had an issue with the front signal lights and I re-installed the OEM ones. The resistance was off and the dash board's light were half-lit.
