Are there HID or LED bulbs for brake lights?

If you have the right tools, you can use the OEM harness rather than the one CM provides. Cleaner, more factory type install. I used Velcro strips for the ballasts. Very easy.

I want to do all of these over the winter. Is there an option for shift indicator (auto) LEDs? I'm sick of having my knee melt whenever the lights are on. I'm afraid they will be too bright.

I too would like to see:
1. Photo of all the parts that come in the kit for the fog light replacements, and
2. Installation instructions
IF this is what I hope it is, and the install is simple, I'd love to do this, as I never use the fog lights and figure they'd make GREAT, BRIGHT daytime running lights to help keep the cellphone-using drivers away from my car.

I've got some things to work out over winter, one being an issue with the interior lights.
Regardless, the thing I'd love to see someone come out with is a bi-pin replacement for the instrument panel halogen bulbs that's: dimmable, brighter with less heat that the 881's and 882's, doesn't require mods to the circuitry, can be changed out through the front of the dash like 881's can using existing sockets and isn't ridiculously priced like the halogen replacements are.
Someone comes up with that and I'll be waiting with a credit card ready.
Once I get my lighting electrical issues worked out I'll be checking out that interior light kit.

I'm planning on changing out all my lights .... This thread is very helpful.
CorvetteMods1 Question: I currently have Sylvania Sliverstar Headlights ... Any comparisons to your LED Headlights? A lot brighter? What about Tail Lights, and Back Up Lights?
Thanks.

Very simple kit.
I have a 93.
Step 1 under the front bumper is the access to the fog lights, remove the screw, open the door. Unplug and remove facotry bulb.
Step 2 clean the inside of the bumper surface just infront of the door access. This is where i attached the ballast box.
Step 3 Insert the HID bulb into Fog light housing
Step 4 Mount the Ballast box with 3m tape supplied in kit.
Step 5 plug Factory harness into pig tails on the HID, Zip Tie the lines to hold them in place, then i used electrical tape to make sure they cant fall out.
Step 6 plug HID into Ballast
Step 7 Turn them on once both are installed.
They will look slightly DIM for about 10 seconds as they heat up.
They are very bright, its almost like having bright lights on at night. I notice they show more of the sides of the road then actually make you see farther, they do help the low beams but i still use my high beams a lot.
I drive down a country backroad to and from work, very dark, and it rains a lot so the HID really help see the sides of the road and anything directly infront of me.
This is a solid HID kit and took about 1 hour to do the entire install.
Only Picture i took. I will have to see if i can get osme evening ON and OFF Pics.
