If not for filming and editing I’d estimate that I could have it done in 1-1.5 hours but I would plan for at least 2-3hrs for install. There wasn’t really any one particular part that took longer than the other but I would say that the actual removal and reinstallation of the tail lights took the longest.
I noticed it blocks the teardrop vents. Is there anyway to leave that part open? Otherwise that's a major dealbreaker for my Z06, since both of those are functional. Albeit, not super important, I just hate the idea of blocking something even remotely useful. They do look great though!
The only way I can see to leave it open would be to leave the bezel off but that would also remove the reverse lights. Leaving them off for the track might be ok but, obviously not for the street.
That was a really good question... How much of a problem is it with the teardrop vents (below taillights) now blocked (used for reverse lights)? I just ordered these same lights but after more thorough analysis, I am worried about the possible long term damage of blocking those upper vents, I've got a 17 GS A8.
Thanks G! Sometimes I think removing the whole thing is a bit easier when it comes to getting to the hardware holding in the lights but if you’re working by yourself doing it this way can be easier.
Thanks for the video it helped me tremendously in my own install as I was not super confident I could do it but your instructions were fool proof. Question I have is whether you notice a brake light delay when choosing the sequential option? I don't see it but on the forums others are suggesting places like vette lights say that morimoto stopped producing this option due to the delay.
Glad it helped you through it! I just checked with the sequential signals on and off and didn’t notice any delay in brake light activation at all. I don’t think production has stopped but will clarify that with vette lights and get back to you.
Hey Shane, this is the response from vettelights. “This was a concern for the C6 lights (and is accurate - sequential functionality was ceased on the C6’s) but is not a concern for the C7’s!...”
Noticed your Montgomery county tag, im in Clarksville as well. I've been considering these for my C7. Are you still happy with these, since you originally posted this video?
I’m still happy with them in terms of quality as I’ve had no issues with them but will be switching them back out for the stock ones. I like the way they look, but I think the stocks will look better with the paint color I’m doing next year
Impressed really , i have a Q though, when you press break an release do they flicker or turn of for a second then goes back to normal? And what about then rear camera ? I use to have such issues with lambo lights on my zl1 18 , am thinking of ordering for my vette , thanks alot an keep up the great work
With the turn signal off, hitting the brake will just brighten the lights like they would normally. with the turn signal on, it will flash the side turning (or sequence) while the others brighten. They don't do the 3 flash then solid when hitting the brake although that might be kinda cool. I don't notice anything negative with the reverse camera and you can definitely see where the reverse lights project the light.
If the light bulbs go bad can you change the bulbs or do you have to get a complete new light snd I doubt they sell only one so you are for Ed to but a new set. What is the warranty on the light.
You would have to replace the entire light just like you would need to replace the entire oem unit if it went bad. They have a 10 year warranty. www.vette-lights.com/collections/2014-current-c7-corvette/products/2014-2019-c7-corvette-morimoto-aventador-style-led-tail-lights
@@Indefinitely_ are you planning to get the LED headlights. i saw them for the vette and camaro and fell in love with them. just the idea of taking my bumper off right now is last on my list. it will happen tho!
@@Indefinitely_ that is the other reason for wanting them. better light pattern/output. today my oracle hyper blue ghosted turn signals come in. can't wait to get them put in.
@@ronsteitz4535 ok, my point was the video was showing how to install them. Your reply was you hate them, which had nothing to really do with the video. Personally for me….I won’t want to pull things apart or pay that much for those lights. Everyone has their own taste and my final point was essentially he likes them and your hating them was just knocking his Willy in the dirt. I guess a more relatable example might be if someone had a picture of their Vette and I hated that color, should I blast them with I hate your Vette?
people who are insecure would change a corvette to look like a Lamborghini. you should probably just go buy a lambo if your that desperate to put lambo tail lights in.
Everyone is at different stages of insecurities in life. Some show this by having the perfect lawn, booty pics on Instagram, buying a Harley or sports car, burning down local businesses, or posting comments like yours on a yt video. Or they are enjoying a hobby, marketing for their onlyfans page, like motorcycles or fun cars, enjoy arson or they are tying to engage with life, albeit in an abrasive manner.

What wire did you pull to make them sequential? Mine just blink solid.
The connector with 1 wire.
Finally someone designed aftermarket taillights that outdid the factory!!!
No kidding! I checked out some of the other stuff from morimoto and everything they do is very nice!
These tail lights look amazing. Especially at night time. I just installed mine yesterday. Love them.
Yeah they do! I couldn’t be happier with them.
Did you make a video?
I made this one but haven’t made one at night yet.
What part took a lot of time? How long did it take you from start to finish (ready to drive away)?
If not for filming and editing I’d estimate that I could have it done in 1-1.5 hours but I would plan for at least 2-3hrs for install.

Were you able to put the carbon fiber tail light trim back on the car after you installed the aftermarket tail lights ?
Awesome video! I was not about to remove the whole bumper like some other vids

Awesome thanks for looking into it
How long did it take you to complete this mod?
Noticed your Montgomery county tag, im in Clarksville as well. I've been considering these for my C7. Are you still happy with these, since you originally posted this video?

Beautiful.
Thank you! Cheers!
Love it bro. Thanks for the great videos
I do my best man! Hope you get back on the road soon!

Those sure are cool!!!
They look wicked in person. Gonna have to bring it by next time your in town.
I am so torn on these lights for my Camaro. I'm up in their air between these smoked or the GM standard lights in smoke.
I think either way it will look good
@@Indefinitely_ are you planning to get the LED headlights. i saw them for the vette and camaro and fell in love with them. just the idea of taking my bumper off right now is last on my list. it will happen tho!
I got them a few weeks after installing the tail lights. Just like the tails they are super nice quality and construction. Light output is better too.
@@Indefinitely_ that is the other reason for wanting them. better light pattern/output. today my oracle hyper blue ghosted turn signals come in. can't wait to get them put in.
Those are gonna look good🔥
I install these and now the Passenger side does not Light UP! !!!
There were some issues installing these with aftermarket side marker lights on certain years. In any case I’d definitely contact vettelights.
@@Indefinitely_ I did, with no Positive Resolutions! But the manufacture replaced the Passenger side in question , same thing happens!
@@Indefinitely_ I did and took it back, but there is Scott on the Corvette Channel who has a Fix. Awesome. Check out his Channel.
Aventador is spelled wrong you spelled it aventadod.
😂😂 thanks for the correction!
Damn! 👌
Shut the music down!
They make the car look cheap . Could be just me though
689 dollars tho... I'd rather put that to the principle of my cars💩🏎️😷
Definitely the smarter choice
Sorry you went to so much trouble. I hate them.
No trouble at all.
I suspect he did these for himself…..not for what you think about them.
@@muskywhiskerbisquet1156 I’m sure your right, but if you plan on keeping your Vette for a long time you are inviting electrical problems to occur.🤔🫣
