I rarely take it out when it's dark, but I definitely don't want to suffer trying to see if I did. I would probably still be brighter than my `99 TA.

it's your car.....do what you want, but for me I don't like the looks whatsoever. I have Morimoto's and they are truly an upgrade from the bug eye stock look, plus they are so much better at night.

To dark for me and I have a RED C6.... lol But hey if you like that’s all that counts imo. I actually picked victory red because I’m born and raised Nebraskan and Big Red is always my college team. Yes I bought it new and after 17 years still love driving it.

Not for me, but it is not my car.

I have Lamin-X film on my lights to preserve them. I got light smoke and think they enhance the look nicely. I get many positive comments on how to cool they look.

I like them, but wouldn't pass a vehicle inspection. I catch enough flak with my smoked out tail lights.

I had light covers on my '94 Z28 when I was 18. I quickly realized that headlights are an important safety feature and light output should not be inhibited for any reason. Outside of that, I don't think it looks good on the C6 regardless.

What's the consensus on the Lamin-X covers?

Time to black-out your Corvette emblems too...

I think it looks pretty good if I'm looking at the car from a different angle than straight on. The black side markers, wheels, tint make it doable to me.

Funny I was going to ask to post a pic from further away to take in the whole look. I like it, especially with the black wheels, tint and roof, blacked out side markers too.
It looks real nice imo. I don't usually like red as a car color but yours sets off well.

Driving at night would be a real challenge I would think. It is a No from me.

You do you. As for me, the black lenses would tie in better if the hood or fenders had some black accents.

Very dated early 2000's look. The other issue is they might lower your headlights output. Not for me but if you think they look good, that's all that matters.

I took them off. I didn't like them after a couple of days of seeing them.
