Appreciate the step-by-step install! I recently graduated from 1/32 scale slot cars to a 1/1 scale 50th Anniversary coupe, and am now working through exterior updates. I just replaced the tail lights, third brake light, and side markers with smoke LED from vette-lights, super easy install, even the hyper-flash bracket. I'm more nervous about the front corner lights, mainly because I'm not as young as I used to be and those are some tight spaces! Looking forward to watching your other C5 videos, especially on the paint restoration. Great channel!
I ended up installing the front corners from the top by removing the headlights. I’ve removed them several times for HID/LED upgrades so I’m familiar with the process. I couldn’t do it from the bottom because I zipped tied HID and LED ballasts and wires to the brake cooling duct so I can’t easily remove it. I found doing it from the headlights space easy and you have plenty of room to see and work on it. The smoked corners look awesome on my Torch Red C5. Thanks again for the useful video and help!
BTW, the spring is very useful, keeps the housing tight to the bumper cover. This is important especially if your driving at high speed. Avoids pressure on the 2 bottom screws and prevents cracks to the bumper and corner light housing
Going to be purchasing these thank you so much for the great info
Great install video! Also thanks for demonstrating how they work. These are a big improvement for the C5. Thank you RCM!
Thanks for the video. I'm going to order mine now.👍🏼🇨🇦🇺🇲
Nice job on this video. Informative, to the point. Thanks for sharing.
great video, good explanation as well
Good detailed video you made. Thank you
Put mine in and they look and work great so far.
Great job!! Thanks!! Looks awesome!!
Thanks for the video.
I will buy for my Vette too.
I’m glad I read the comments about the resistor’s getting super hot. That should have been addressed by the maker of the units.
Thanks for the video. I just ordered a set of these lamps for my Z06.
Very cool - you’ll love them!
Just got mine in, looks like good quality 👌 gonna install today
Do these still hyper flash even with the harness install?I was thinking about getting these but that's a deal breaker for me, I don't want to run resistors
@Douglas Z these lights are so impressive. I don't have the hyper flash harness they come with plug-in resistors. There true plug and play . They are 110% worth it 👌
Just ordered mine. 👏🇬🇧
Looks great I have installed all the same on my C5 Z06, I’ll keep a lookout for you in the Akron area👍
Perfect! Thanks for watching!
Great Video Thanks 🙏🏿
I just bought one same color 😊 01 with 56k and I’m definitely doing this
Awesome! Enjoy the lights and the car!
excellent job describing
Great video, question does the DRL white light comes on without parking light or headlights on?
A little update..
Got the resistor harness in this morning. It took me less than 10 mins to put it in through the under panels by the steering wheel and it WORKED LIKE A CHARM. It’s 4 screws and the whole thing comes down but I would take the center console out which isn’t hard to do and do it that way you don’t damage any plastic tabs. Spend that $50 on the harness and do all the LED work you want on your car don’t depend on those aftermarket load resistors
shoot a vid showing that.....
@@harryharry3193 of what? I don’t record videos but I can definitely guide you. Also you have to shift into neutral or 1st gear to pop that console back and up.. harness didn’t take me that long. It got confusing when I did my taillights to smoked LED’s so I had to switch to a better harness provided by the tech who sent me the lights. My stupid transmission is skipping now I haven’t done shit to it for about 2 weeks now. It skips 3rd and goes straight into 4th
Not bad at all, definitely an improvement
Great instructional video, some time could you do a " hyper flash harness" install also ???
Yea possibly. It wasn’t too hard. Just watch a video on how to remove the dash below the gauges. It plugs in there.
Having some trouble with my C5 leds. Tried every way to connect the plugs but it still wants to blink in double time for blinkers. I have red to red on the small bulb and the led pack and black to black on the big socket? Any thoughts? Do I have to connect both lights for them to work properly?
I have been running these for a few weeks. No problems so far. Work great. The resistor though, gets so hot you can barely touch it. I mean super hot. It has bothered me enough that I bought a hyperflash harness that I will be putting in this weekend. Hopefully I can then unplug the resistors. They are hot AF.
Interesting! Good to know.
@@RubberCityMotoring I put in the hyperflash harness tonight. The lights worked better than before. Before they worked fine but the flashes were sometimes a little off speed like a few quick flashes and then settling down. Also mine really didn't work well if the engine wasn't running. So they worked fine when driving, just a little sketchy if you were paying attention.
With the harness and the resistors still in there everything worked perfectly. I removed the resistors and they worked great.
Neither of the resistors was still glued on. The tape was baked brown and the black paint on them was gone. They are now copper or copper colored.
I'm glad I got them out of my car both because I think they were a problem waiting to happen and because the lights function better without them. $50 well spent.
I'm sure all of the hyperflash harnesses are the same but if anyone is interested the one I got was from Corvette Envy and it fit and functioned perfectly.
Super interesting! Link to the harness you installed?

Going to give this a try soon - any advantage to removing the small resistors? Basically, do they still get hot with the hyperflash installed?
Great video & I just ordered mine yesterday for my custom C5 & been watching videos on the install ? Where did you put your floor jack ?
I have the jack pucks. They go in the holes underneath and you jack it in that location.
@@RubberCityMotoring ok cool I have my low profile Jack & 2 Jack stands my lights should arrive tomorrow & will install them this coming weekend great video 💯😎✌️
So the 3 bolts are screws ? That’s where I am now
Fuck the resistors they are aftermarket and work depending on the watts that’s shooting out the car. I bought a harness it’s coming tonight from corvette envy or anywhere but it’s simple to put in all it does it balance the flow of the energy to all lights. That harness will come in handy when you install LEd’s on the headlight as well. It’s all about balancing the power that’s all. Those resistors would’ve helped to a lower AMP led but the ones we got needs a harness because those resistors can melt through the plastic and catch on fire
Spring stops rattling of the housing and prevents sagging.
Awesome! Thanks for that answer!
I took the bigger bolt out & the unit came out
If I still had my ‘02 convertible, I’d get them
I’m coming over from bmw…I see my parking light markers but….turn signals???
So is there some additional kind of Hyper flash harness required for proper operation?
So these come with a small little module for each light. They work fine with no issues and no hyper flash.
So if I get these lights I have to exclude the resistor but put in the hyper flash harness?
Do these assemblies include the white parking lights also?
Everything you see is included - I had a hyper flash harness before, which seems to help everything out.
Do these hyper flash if you have the hyper flash harness installed? Do you still need the resistors with the harness? my C5 has the harness installed. I also have the pewter Metallic BTW :)
From everything I heard, you won’t get hyper flash with your setup. Best of luck!!
I'm getting ready to install these corner housings. Are you using switchback LED's in this video?
Yes I am - the one on the screengrab are the ones installed on my car.
@@RubberCityMotoring Thanks for the info!
You’re welcome!
Answers my question…..will the smoked lights look good on my Machine Silver C5Z?
I think it would. Mine in the video is pewter, so somewhat close for you to compare.
How do they look with the fog lights on?
Not sure. I don’t have fog lights :)
I just installed these. My blinkers now blink as if a bulb is out, all of them. What is my issue? What's the fix?
Did you install the little modules that plug in to the lamps?
@@RubberCityMotoring the little adhesive cylindrical device. Yes. It is installed on both sides.
Hmm interesting. I didn’t have any issues. Maybe somebody will have an idea for you. Any other leds on the car?
Do you need a hyperflash?
No not for these lights
Where did u find those lights pls respond
Vette Lights
Do you any discount codes never buy from corvette creationz they take money but don't deliver any products i really want sleepy eyes that just looks cool sleepy eyes dang it 700$ I flushed down the toilet hole any way don't shop at corvette innovationz any codes for vette lights?
👌🏾👍🏾
I just wish they were switchbacks instead of always amber :(
I got mine delivered yesterday and I 100 percent agree
I installed them and they’re blinking fast
You'll need a hyper harness
Thoroughly enjoyed this upload! Thumbs up and a sub from me... Stay safe... Rico ('01 Millennium Yellow)
Smoke or Clear?
These are smoke.
I installed the harness and it is still
Hyperflasing
Weird! Not sure why it would…
I thought you were supposed to stick resistors to a metal chassis?
Probably should have... I am going to remove them because I put in a hyper flash module.
Where are the fog lights
'99 Hardtop / FRC did not come with them.
I installed the harness and it is still
Hyperflasing
Interesting.... I'll have to experiment with mine here this winter.
