I just received mine today. On the back housing, they are numbered 1 and 2. Do you count the out side lights as 1 and the insides as 2? If there is a way to screw this up, I can make it interesting"

Thanks

It's been so long since I put mine in I can't remember if mine were marked as a pair of 1's and 2's or a pair of R's and L's.

I think that the 1's would be on one side and the 2's on the other but not sure about that.

What I can tell you is that they are pairs, meaning that the 2 left side lights are the same (and interchangeable) as are the 2 right side lights.

Also the left side lights are different than the right side lights.

If you get them installed correctly the center reflectors all will reflect light the same when you stand directly (centered) behind the car from about 20 feet and shine a light on them at night.

The rear of the C6 is slightly curved so the lights on each side are designed in a way that when installed correctly will compensate for that curve.

If you install any of them on the wrong side the surface on the light will be angled slightly wrong so that the reflectors won't reflect light correctly from directly centered behind the car.

Hope that makes sense.

Actually it does. I'll put them in Friday. Thanks for your time!

I've been looking to get a set of these or just install LED bulbs inside the OEM housings and get an LED flasher to prevent the hyper blinking. Has anyone gotten a flasher? Not sure what one I need.

I know this is an old thread but I just bought new genuine Eagle Eye LED tail lights on Fleabay for $197.08 with free shipping. Been on the fence about it for $300 for awhile but that is a deal if anyone is looking. The listing number is 391296942437

Can't help you. The LED tail lights come with their own resistors so that is not needed.

I know. I was talking about getting them if I'm just replacing the incandescent bulbs in Stock housings with LED bulbs.

There is no conventional flash module you can swap for an LED version. The flashing is controlled by computer. You can still run LEDs though, if you install ballast resistors or buy RadioFlyer's harness.

Just received mine today and they are now installed. Love them, on or off, they look great! As others have said, the stock lights, when off, look dull. These are vibrant and, IMHO, look much better.

I also have these in my 08 Convertible. I would also recommend using the seals behind them and not blacking them out. It may look cool with them black but Johnny Law say's that is not legal. Also side marker lens blacked must show corresponding Amber and Red bulbs available from Sylvania, 194A and194R. Most auto parts stores have these and they are LED bulbs, around $10.00 a piece. You will really like these.

I'm so wanting these. Have been watching the forum thinking some one will go to the c7 and take the eagle eyes out before they sell it. maybe a little cheaper. Just want to save a buck if I can. Yours look great. Cant wait till I get a set.
