Default Front turn signal lenses

Hi
Looking to replace my front turn signal lenses. I own a 2002 corvette electron blue. Looking for ideas and pictures
The original are still in.
Thanks

I put a set of these on mine along with both front and rear led lights. When I replaced them the origs were both burnt and cracked due to the heat. If you do go with LEDs you may need a Hyper Flash bypass harness so the signal lights will work properly.

Check forum vendors like jwmotorsportsllc.com and sharplightinnovations.com.

Other forum vendors may offer lighting options too.

Is the light of the Amber swoosh shining thru the bottom screen? You should try raising the lenses with some washers and bolts. That’s what I did with my Sharp Innovations led lenses cause the opening for the lenses on the Tigershark fascia are smaller.

No, that is a seperate LED strip that I am using for my DRL & turn signals.

I took your advice and shimmed them up tonight so that the lower LED portion of the corner lights can be seen and it turned out great!


Thanks for the tip!

I chose to go with the smoke tinted. They have switch back bulbs and are very bright even being tinted.

These switchbacks https://www.ebay.com/itm/302338278773 These were recommended by forum members to me.

I got the 194 corner amber LEDs from RadioFlyer.
