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.

Are you running any specials right now on the interior LED light kits including the LEDs for the rearview mirror?

Also how many lumens does the large bulbs have.

Thanks

They are currently on sale. Will have to check with mfg on the lumens rating. However SMD's are pretty standard in output for the size chip we carry.

A question if you wanna do the fog lights and the flip up lights on an 88 and the rear lamps. Do you need the whole kits or the bulbs?

I've been meaning to share this for a while. I installed the CorvetteMods HID fogs on my 92 ZR-1. However, I really don't like the idea of just shoving the spade connectors into the factory harness. I like something cleaner and more OEM both from a looks standpoint and safety.
You can modify the factory harness to accept the Corvette Mods connector if you have some simple tools. Just swap the connectors.
I suggest Corvette Mods copy this if and when I delete the pics.

OEM v Corvette Mod harness connectors



Remove OEM connector at Power end of OEM wiring harness



Do the same to the Corvette Mods supplied harness



Now just connect the harness to the ballast using the OEM harness w the Corvette Mods connector swapped in. And voila. No exposed wiring and no electrical tape kludge. Make sure you have polarity correct.

Great idea, thanks for sharing! Much better than cut-n-splice, for sure (easily reversible, too).

Got the interior kit in the mail today for my '94. Wondering if there's a set of instructions that helps highlight where each bulb goes? In only got two of the barrel shaped LED's but both the hood and doors take that kind of bulb.

Help.

Installed

Forum member IAFF Alumni gave me a tip: to make the bulbs twist into the socket easier, take the rubber grommet off the HID bulb. Then, take the grommet off the halogen bulb. Put the rubber grommet from the halogen on the HID bulb.
