Justin u have opened my eyes up about , C5, C6, & always C7, just need low miles & ur condition ur C5 , has , more of a STRONG , Foundation , & build up from there ...... PLUS $$$$$ not as much as C7 , crazy .
One of the best nighttime LED upgrades for sure. Just getting started and each LED upgrade will be better than the last. Use a T15 instead of Phillips screw driver for all those screws lol.
I really wish there were more aftermarket options. I once saw a clear set similar to the C7 Z06/ZR1 style on eBay, but they were an old listing. I really wish someone made some nice looking white/grey tail lights for the C5. Or even the white halo rings like the C6 Mishimoto lights. That would look amazing.
I'm going to install these but I'm going to leave the hyper flash it looks just fine think it's cool.. people know your turning so be it.. especially going in and out of lanes.. very cool ..
Just installed these lights on my c5z today and I love them!! For me I didn't even need to install the hyperflash harness haha. Didn't get any hyper flashing on the turn signals, I guess I got lucky!!
@@HorsePowerObsessed Bummer, my C5 is a metalflake orange and the smokey lenses look awesome with it but that also means they have an impact on the brightness of the lights. Safety wise it would certainly be an improvement but then the cosmetic compromise,,, ughh decisions decisions....Thanks for the reply too Ive only had my C5 for a month now and of course I went to learning about them on TH-cam university and your channel was one of the first I subscribed to! I wish I had found it before you did the C5 giveaway though LOL
Also 1 more ? lol , What is ur purpose on the GREEN , C5 , & DID u order those Gold Rims / Wheels For her YET ? thanks , Ken Also LUV the REAR LiGHTS & Now order that REAR Spoiler ..........Hmmmmmm
@@HorsePowerObsessed 10-4 roger that , Going to look sick once ur kinda done with her , never done lol , can't wait , with the rims & other mods / acc. the more i looked at it , the better it looked , luv the Color , not many around Green , & inside , the wife's car ? see it's a AUTO .
I didn’t read through the comments. But the lights are slightly angled inward. You can’t tell looking face on, but you can see it if you stand them up and view them from the top.
@@HorsePowerObsessed it’s aftermarket. If you have an email or Facebook I can send pics. I love the digi dash on the c4 but the rear bumper and skirts of the C5 are more, appealing to the eye.

Its a nice mod. On another note, Corvette C8s are destroying car shows STOCK. If they become anymore flamboyant then its only going to increase the desire to own them. If Lambos and other brands dont come to car shows without a serious wrap or paint scheme then people go right over to the C8. The C8 is simply killing it.
What Mercedes? I've yet to drive one yet that I would say is better than current day GM. A new Mercedes better than a C5, maybe, but new for new, that's a tough one. The C8 is built quite well and other than 200k+ Mercedes, I would have to disagree.

What do you guys think of the new mod for the C5 Corvette? Get your C5 LED tail lights here: bit.ly/3bC9BZk. 👍👍
You need to do the "Flush mount" mod for the tails also. Makes a subtle difference.
I considered that. May still do it!
Extremely cool mod. Honestly, this tips the scale for me... a few small changes and the C5 is actually a desirable Vette again 👍
Thanks! I 100% agree. It doesn't take much to make the C5 a current looking car again.

Timeless design... much better than a new v6 muscle I'd rather drive this than ecoboost.. mustang convertible.. smh. Some guys..lol 😆 🤣
Yep, first mod I did on mine!! Love them.
Absolutely! They make a gigantic difference!
@@HorsePowerObsessed agreed!!
Good day Justin; nice mod for the C5, which is looking awesome; always enjoy the content featuring your beautiful rides; take care !
Thanks, you too!!
Thanks for the mention! I just got an email from a person asking for a link to the mod to roll the windows down on his C5!
You're very welcome, buddy! Thank you for sharing it with me!

Yeah I plan on upgrading them in the future. I was surprised the tail lights didn't come with something a little nicer to hold them in.
Excellent video. Appreciate the thorough instructions
Glad it was helpful! I appreciate the kind words.
Wow huge difference!! Love the 3 tap trick on the winders too!
Thanks!
Very nice, I thought about this before for my C5Z, now I definitely will. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
You're quite welcome! Definitely something all C5's should have!
I got my holo led taillights about 14 years ago. Still like new and very bright today.
They look great!! Huge improvement and removes the dated taillights!
Thanks, man! You're absolutely right though, really brings the car up to date.
If you get an after market exhaust, I recommend the B&B System. I have them and love it!

lol right?
Appreciate you I know what to do now💯💯💯👍
No problem! Happy to help!
Great video / and instructions on this Fantastic MOD ! Thank you for the INFO ! Excellent ! Will forward for C5 Must Have !
Thank you!
I'll be getting a C5 pretty soon and this might be one of the first mods I do!
I would highly recommend it!

Morimoto?

Kept my hyper flash too 👍🏽 “safer” imo lol
That was an absolutely what I had added to my C5 back in 2005
Just installed these lights on my c5z today and I love them!! For me I didn't even need to install the hyperflash harness haha. Didn't get any hyper flashing on the turn signals, I guess I got lucky!!
I got these same lights for my C4 project. I have a c5 kit for my 85.
CAR SHOW SUNDAY JUNE 6TH. NO 2 STEPPING ON THE LOT!
🤣🤣🤣
At least you didn't have to remove the whole bumper. Looks great though and make it super more modern.
Thank you. I definitely love the improvement, myself.
Nice upgrade. Are you updating the rest of the lights. I upgraded my 1990 Miata to all LED, and what a difference.
That is literally the next video I'm working on! Lots to do, though!
@@HorsePowerObsessed nice
I just bought a C5 that has smokey tail light lenses, Can you swap the lights without swapping the lenses?
Not that I’ve seen. They are usually all one unit.

Awesome replacement lights.
Thanks, man! They really help take the car to the next level.
Dude, that's cool. I like it
Thank you!
looks great!

I haven't noticed such a thing, but are you saying they are like that from factory or just the aftermarket ones?

Sure. My email is horse.power.obsessed@gmail.com.
I have a C5 and love this content!
Thank you! 😎
If I like the hyper flash is there any negative for keeping it?
Nope. You're all good with just the tail lights!
@@HorsePowerObsessed thanks for the quick reply! I just ordered them.
Sweet! You'll love them!
50k coming up!
Heck yes! 🤘😎🤘
That is an awesome and easy mod.
100%!

@@HorsePowerObsessed thnx bud :)
Very welcome!
HorsePower Obsessed thanks for the link, but it doesn’t say if the hyper flash harness is included? Did yours come with the halo lights?
Yes it came with halos but you can option it to not come with them.
I wonder if a piece couldn’t be fabricated to fit the upgraded C5 lights on the C8…
Traded mine in for a Mercedes and realized the quality is far superior then GM.
What Mercedes? I've yet to drive one yet that I would say is better than current day GM. A new Mercedes better than a C5, maybe, but new for new, that's a tough one. The C8 is built quite well and other than 200k+ Mercedes, I would have to disagree.

Won't do it on mine
Why's that?
Personally, I do not like these tail lights!
i'll pass, not a fan of the halo look and my C5 does NOT NEED them
