Vette-Lights 97-04 C5 Corvette Halo & Laser Taillights - Definitive Guide

[@Ricovette]

I went with the Halo Runners... I think they look the best! Super bright, but not obnoxiously bright...lol. I've had them on my '01 C5 for the past three years and they keep getting better and better looking with age... There's something about the way they look at night that gives you a modern look with a nostalgic feel, if you know what I mean... Thoroughly enjoyed this upload! Thumbs up from me as usual... Stay safe... Rico ('01 Millennium Yellow C5)

Thanks for watching!

Hello, Rubber City Motoring, I also live in Akron, and I went with the smoked lens. I also went with the smoked in the front. Thank you for the video.

[@RubberCityMotoring]

Very cool! I’ll keep my eyes open for you. Thanks for watching!

[@lorigilbert3173]

So glad I found your video. Hopefully this will help me decide which ones to go with🤔

[@RubberCityMotoring]

Best of luck! I wanted to try to show all the options available at the time.

[@castlegarage6969]

Just bought smoked and modified version with switch hope it looks ok

[@cavemaster]

U can add little ohm transistor things to dim those lights. I added 3 and they're much better now.

[@HydeKills]

Can you elaborate?

[@shawnguillory267]

Thanks for this video. I have a 96 C4 and vette lights recently released the laser style tails for us and I wanted to see how they performed before pulling the trigger on ordering them for my car.

The smoke tail lights

[@jeffb243]

Thanks for posting this video!! I’ve been wanting LED’s in the rear, but didn’t see any videos comparing the different styles on a C5. I like Vette Lights, bought quite a few LED’s from them

[@dennisd4193]

I ordered smoked taillights for my 04 spiral gray.i also have the front corners smoked and rear side marker smoked also 3rd brake light smoked.ordered thru vette lights

[@RubberCityMotoring]

Awesome! That’ll look perfect

[@stephendibari5010]

No doubt the most detailed and comprehensive explanation of these lights. Im liking the Halo runners but not doing any exterior lighting upgrades yet, maybe a few years from now. I’ll most likely upgrade the interior lights to LED’s where possible. I know myself and if I change one thing the list will grow!! Subscribed last night. Stephen D. From Staten Island NY

[@RubberCityMotoring]

Thanks for watching! Vette Lights is a great company to work with and buy from.

[@stephendibari5010]

@@RubberCityMotoring yeah I’ve seen a few other YT channels that covered the installation and comparison similar to yours. They will be my go too if I decide to upgrade in the future!

[@stephendibari5010]

@@RubberCityMotoring did you upgrade any interior lights to LED ?

[@patrocman4818]

Off the black looks great. Lights on is the same. Thx for making this video.

[@RubberCityMotoring]

You’re welcome - thanks for watching!

[@robertogambala8919]

I have the first halo design the month it came out… I still have it super bright. I paid $320 back then.

[@Dademold]

I just purchased all the lights for my C5 front and back I think it’ll look cool

[@RubberCityMotoring]

It’s a fun upgrade for sure. Enjoy!

[@philtroskey3454]

Smoke all the way

[@walterlangkowski4723]

The plain halos look way cleaner

[@aptsix1728]

Your review was so good, I bought a full set! Went with Smoked from corners and red laser rear and sides. I will install soon. Question - do you need to install the hyper flash harness? I didn’t see that in your video. Thanks.

[@RubberCityMotoring]

No with the tails I believe it is built in… but I may not be remembering correctly. I had one installed on my car originally though….

[@tommycastro7357]

Love the tail lights. On ur car smoke looks great but its up to you... my vette is in storage. Can i ask you for a favor . If possible can you measure the rear bumper vents for me on your car. I'm making vent grills. With be highly appreciated

[@rbheaven4918]

Went for the smoke..looks great.

[@link9alink9a71]

l sale my Helo modify than l buy the smoke one they are beautiful ..but like the have laser bar only sty on with DRL . ,. I don't know why they don't make it like that. But they are the best ..

[@kevinliewer8676]

Great video!! Thank you for making it. Any on how to actually change them?

[@RubberCityMotoring]

It’s super easy. Two screws and remove the lens.

[@andrenj1970]

Cool but I’ve got the 3rd choice: the laser ones with clear lenses from vette lights;)

[@RubberCityMotoring]

Yes! I didn’t get to test those. Do you like them??

[@andrenj1970]

@@RubberCityMotoring sure:)

[@michaelajones1994]

I went with the lazors super bright my C5 looks brand new

[@RubberCityMotoring]

[@Wolfmann99]

Good video showing them stock though tails are a torx some one changed your hardware out.

[@RubberCityMotoring]

Thanks!

[@Dshizz1976]

Great vid man. 👍🏁

[@RubberCityMotoring]

Thanks for watching!

[@BlackoutWS6]

Did you have to get any harness or anything ? For the blinkers hyper flash

[@RubberCityMotoring]

I had a hyper flash already installed by previous owner. Both light sets though have you covered. One came with a harness, the other has it built in with resistors.

[@BlackoutWS6]

@@RubberCityMotoring rock on thanks

[@shaved1999]

Did the Halo

[@RubberCityMotoring]

Awesome!

[@tommycastro7357]

How much does the smoke ones go for? And how do you think thy are going to look on dark blue?

[@RubberCityMotoring]

I think that would be an awesome look! Laser LED smoked style is $325.

[@mijosgarage6253]

This is exactly what i’m doing. I just ordered the smoked ones for my dark blue c5. How did you like it?

[@TheLaughlin82]

What's the little grey harness for?

[@RubberCityMotoring]

I believe diagnostics when they test it/program it from the build. It was not used during the install.

[@mostheinous]

I like my sequence lights flashes middle to outside only available in original style bulb there are no led taillights that flash middle to outside they flash at same time I didn't like that someone needs to make led taillights that flash separately or in sequence ..ya-baby. Smoked style

[@kevinliewer8676]

Are your lights factory? I didn't know they came sequential

[@mostheinous]

@@kevinliewer8676 go to sharp light innovations there selling c5 corvette rear brake ho running lights 3 stage sequence for 650.00$ well worth the price there beautiful utube halo sequence lights awesome

Can the center laser be turned off?

[@RubberCityMotoring]

No they are on/off like the normal lights.
