Great video. Installed my lights about week ago. I am glad I watched this new version apparently I had installed my stops incorrectly. You have a great night my friend.
Yes, I'm hopeful this will correct any missteps people may have. While this video looks simple, it literally took me 5 days of shooting and probably 7 days of editing to try to convey as clearly as I could, each step. Just trying to avoid any issues ahead.
I installed my lights today. Absolutely love them took me about four hours. Install was pretty easy, especially when following the video. I did something on the second light that helps tremendously, and that was to adjust the stopper all the way up until only a thread or two was showing on the bolt. I will have to adjust my lights a little bit higher, or raise the car off the ground. Lol I’m almost dragging after lowering it, but I’ll wait until I raise it up to see exactly where the lights set. All in all I absolutely love these lights. What a difference, it makes in the appearance of my C5. thanks Damian for the great product and support
Did you use the black oxide screws for the stops? I am betting no. The paper in the box advised of the hardware change. The hardware is correct if you build the stops correct according to the update.
@@KnightDriveTV I must’ve lost the paper because I did not see it. But no I did not use them because I didn’t know to do so. Could you please suggest how I should install them
Appreciate the video probably the best instruction video I’ve ever watched . made it really easy to install the headlight..best looking lights on the market keep up the great work
They’re not only cosmetically nice, but it’s probably something good to get for safety. I couldn’t see anything on unlit roads with the stock lights, these are insanely bright
Just finished the install. Everything but the relay works perfectly. I tried 3 times on it to no avail. Fantastic video helped me through and the second side was so much faster. Thank you
Are you aware of the frame ground that is just under the fuse box on the top of the frame rail? Would be a more reliable ground for the relay. And probably easier to get to.
Just finished installing, what a great and easy to follow video. One thing that made it easier to remove the 10mm bolt on the top of the housing to release the mounting arm was an L shaped H5/32 (or metric equivalent) hex key instead of the T15 with pliers trick. I got the new black bolts for the stop guide and I didn't realize why you switched them until I got to the passenger side, the armature woild slide in between the bolt and the housing.
Fantastic product! Terrific walk through. Installation was a breeze and had them mounted perfectly first shot with everything by following this video. You do fantastic work and i am eagerly awaiting the availability of the C5 max din/HVAC controller.
A big fan of your style and commitment on Corvettes. I have learned a shit loads of practical and mostly theoretical physics of Corvettes. Thanks. Btw my friend from Finland shall be visiting you soon. Name is Esko.
9:10 Hey Damian I am almost done and just caught at 1:02:59 that the T25 I initially used slipped, had a T27 sitting right there and that was the proper fit you could tell by feel right away. I remember years ago working on some car that had T27 as well so that adds up.
14:01 Mechanic’s tip: remove the (2) rear T15 Torx screws BEFORE manually raising the headlamp - saves time because you don’t have to raise it, then lower it, then raise it again. This is called a “workflow optimization” which saves time.
@@Zestybruh thought about doing that. Was a long 2 days of installing but the lights look great. I ended up cutting the bolt off and replacing it with 10mm on both ends for easy access in the future
1:00:55 😂thanks for giving my aftermarket mechanic a video so he doesn’t screw my vette up, sir. Thanks for your awesomeness and sense of humor as well!
I don't drive the C5 (yet). Driving the C4 currently. Followed along with the video anyway. Thanks for all of your hard work and documentation. Once the C5 happens for me, I'll be sure to snag a pair! They look pretty darn good! 🍕🖖
34:11 Not to be a party pooper, but a 1964 engineering white paper showed results of testing all types of lock washers. The split type of lock washer you specify is by far the least effective, and basically doesn’t do anything once it is flattened. I would recommend a small amount of blue Loctite instead.
My marker lights come on when i turn the switch 1 notch. The headlights don't come up at this time. If I tap in on the marker light wouldn't the halos come on when the lights are down?
Thanks for maiing this video. Extemely helpful. Could i tap the halos into the fogs? I only want the headlights up and halos on when the fog lights are on. Otherwise i want them off/down for drl.
My kit was delivered about 2 weeks ago but I was away when they arrived. I just started the installation today and could only finish the drivers side due to only receiving 6 bolts. According to your instructions I need 4 for each side. That was a bit of a disappointment !!
Please read the instructions in the box, as this video is showing older hardware vs what you have received. Reading tge included paperwork, which is highlighted with arrows, is very important
Great video and product! Just finished installing the passenger side. Quick question, when my lights are turned to off the low beams of the knight drive lights remain slightly lit, despite all other lights being off. The only way to turn them off is to turn on my high beams then turn off the high beams. Any fix for this or way around this?
When removing the up/down adjustment bolt, instead of using pliers to hold the torx bit, the box end of a 1/4” wrench/ratchet wrench would make life easier. Or it wouldnt, idk
I tried to relate to what tools people would easily have. I have special micro wratchets for the bits, but most people don't have them. I just tried to show what was easily accessible. The bit will slide backward in a box end wrench but it could work. My little bit wratchets lock the bit.
Youre not following the alteration on the paperwork that deviates from this video. The stop design has changed, as has the supplied hardware. This video advises, in the beginning, to CHECK FOR PAPERWORK, in the box.
I would love to do this on my C3. Any chance you are working on getting some done? Otherwise I’m thinking of customizing it to my 73 corvette. They look good.
Do you also have the lamps for Europe Germany? We need an E test mark here so that I can install the headlights. Without an E test mark it is illegal, unfortunately
I have previously installed a pair of the Depot fixed projection lights on my C5 and I’m thinking about upgrading to the sleepy eye headlight I still have the factory headlights can I install this kit in the factory headlights before I reinstall them back into the car or do I need to put the factory one in first and then go from there 🤔
I never had anyone do it that way, but I'd imagine it could be done. In truth though, getting the oem system back in operation first, being sure there are no issues, then installing the kit next would avoid any confusing troubleshooting, in the event something isnt working right.
We have been trying for 1.5yrs to make rgb boards with micro controllers. The company I work with now says they can get it done. They would all be cell phone controlled, at that point...any color.
so i’ve spend the past couple hours putting these in. when going to test to see if i had to flip around the tabs for the bulbs my headlights didn’t move down when i turned it off. now they will not go down automatically, i have to manually do it with the knobs. is there anyway you can help me?
Hey man, I just ordered a pair of these and later found out about the all/6 harness. Is that now included in the kits, I saw it was on the order page for the harness, but not on the order page for the headlights and just wanted to be sure. Thanks!
53:30 - 53:33 🤣 hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! 😭 💀! I just happened to see his FOOT?! 🤣 😆 😂 😂 🤣 I’m sorry dude, I’m not trying to be rude, but I literally have tears in my eyes from laughing.
@@KnightDriveTV 🤣 that’s why I laughed! I LOATHE them TOO! 😂 thanks for being a good sport, man. I appreciate it 💯 I was truly in tears 😭 because I didn’t expect it after seeing all your other videos! 😂
This isnt the place for install assist. Your plugs spund like you have them all upside down, the install video describes this condition. Call me, via my phone number on the website or post in the fb group
Its all possible if you're willing to chop up your car. I am making a fixed kit that removes the motors. C7 lights wont work and itll look like hell. You need something that works with the lines and design flavor of c5. I have it comin
Reçu en France avec le bon câblage européen, installé grâce à une vidéo faite sur-mesure, super content du résultat…bravo Damian !

Everything‘s working fine. Do I need to take it apart and add the black oxide stops
Best part about this video……….no lame music. Thanks!
Appreciate the video probably the best instruction video I’ve ever watched . made it really easy to install the headlight..best looking lights on the market keep up the great work
I don't even have a c5 but when I do these lights are a must and this video makes it seem no too bad to do
Nah, it's easy...lots more coming for C5 also! Next video posting late June 2023 will show.
They’re not only cosmetically nice, but it’s probably something good to get for safety. I couldn’t see anything on unlit roads with the stock lights, these are insanely bright

Cant wait to get the package order in January 08, 2023...very good Video to install
I ordered mine around the same time. Still waiting because the stops bent almost instantly. No word on the new stops...
Great video on installing the resistor .

Great vid! Just got mine today! Pro tip instead of a t30 bit and needle noses you can just use a 5/32 Allen key. Just be careful not to strip it!
Mines stripped already. Any tips to get around this?
@@brihilist5236 thought that comes to mind is super glue your tool to it and replace the stripped one.
@@Zestybruh thought about doing that. Was a long 2 days of installing but the lights look great. I ended up cutting the bolt off and replacing it with 10mm on both ends for easy access in the future

Deez nuts! Helpful video, can't wait to get mine installed.
I totally stumbled into it while.installing and was like...awww man...lol
I don't drive the C5 (yet). Driving the C4 currently. Followed along with the video anyway. Thanks for all of your hard work and documentation. Once the C5 happens for me, I'll be sure to snag a pair! They look pretty darn good! 🍕🖖
I have C4 action coming ahead as well. I love me some C4's
great walk thru !! placed an order, looking forward to having these on.
Good stuff, I appreciate it!
Tip
High beam 9005
Socket has 2 indents between the pins
Low beam 9006
Socket has 1 indent between the pins
Let's go!

Hope to see my lights soon 😀
Theyre gettin built...supply chain is catching up
good to the end , maybe should of checked power side of fuse to none power side of fuse to keep power off till needed to help save fuse
In step 6 my torx was a T30

Well, hopefully we can reel ya in! Thanks for watching! Lots more product coming
Hey man love these headlights can you do these for the 1st gen NSX. Thanks.

tHATS WHAT i WANT.................
Are these headlights compatible with the C4. They look awesome and would look dope on a c4 in my opinion
The c4 kit is being released soon
coming soon ...No more relay to keep high beam with low ..... By the way .... great video 👍
Great video to bad I’m missing half the hardware to install
Youre not following the alteration on the paperwork that deviates from this video. The stop design has changed, as has the supplied hardware. This video advises, in the beginning, to CHECK FOR PAPERWORK, in the box.
Is there a difference in light output and beam pattern between your square and round LED headlamps?
Once the headlight assembly hits the new stop, how does the motor know to stop? An amperage spike on the motor circuit?
I would love to do this on my C3. Any chance you are working on getting some done? Otherwise I’m thinking of customizing it to my 73 corvette. They look good.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
How easy is it to align them, so they dont blind oncoming traffic?
They use the stock adjusters and have cutoffs. These dont blind anyone.
@@KnightDriveTV thanks, these are the best looking lights I have been able to find.
Do you also have the lamps for Europe Germany? We need an E test mark here so that I can install the headlights. Without an E test mark it is illegal, unfortunately
Ordered my lights yesterday hows the supply doing these days
Holding, for now
Do you have a shop in vegas you would recommend to do the install?
Just got done installing mine and put the covers on and they dont close all the way guessing its time to redo them all again 😅
Had a really had time having the bar hit the stop had to bend the bar alott and keep redoing
How are you doing with the round lights, with color ?........C5S...................jb.
They are close, but due to the modular wiring required, we have had quite a time with it. They are coming though, for sure.
I have previously installed a pair of the Depot fixed projection lights on my C5 and I’m thinking about upgrading to the sleepy eye headlight I still have the factory headlights can I install this kit in the factory headlights before I reinstall them back into the car or do I need to put the factory one in first and then go from there 🤔

Thank you very much for getting back to me right away that helps me make my decision sleepy eyes 👀 it is
A little optimistic here. But what is the chance of making and marketing a set of these for a Toyota MR2?
Itd be hard to justify the r&d cost given the small pool of buyers. Even with C5 its just enough
Would you ever work on a version with amber led?
