LUX TEST of the new Coplus C6 Corvette OEM-style LED Headlights!

[@InJasonsGarage]

Finally! I am showing you guys what you wanted to see...actual LUX measurements for the new Coplus C6 Corvette LED headlights! Watch and comment with your thoughts! Order them here: geni.us/coplusc6headlights

[@sbinnala]

Hi Jason! There’s another thing to consider here. Lux isn’t everything because HIDs project way further than LEDs. I don’t know the science behind this. My C6 headlights had PPF put on them by the first owner so they are perfect. The seals are tiny bit weathered but I’m not bothered. My drivers side adjustment rod thing moves around in the fender, but it still works to adjust the headlight.

[@AarenPho]

Thank you so much for this video, I was never really into the Morimoto styled headlights cause I just never liked the line. The circles will always be my favorite on these cars too!

[@gregpruitt1647]

Thanks for doing this video. We need an alternative to the very expensive Mormioto product. I would like to see some options for color temp. I like 7000K color temp, as I am running with my C6 HID bulbs.

[@fst5256]

Finally! I bought these after I found them on your video. Been waiting for this video lol. No worries happy to see it. They go in my vette springtime.

[@d-one-and-only]

please report back when you install them ...

[@fst5256]

Soon

[@fst5256]

Well they installed as they should. Not 100% perfect fit but my oem housing didn’t either. But damn close. Lights are super bright. My switchbacks worked fine in parking lights. Unfortunately the high beam is h7 so my new led bulbs don’t work but will get a new h7 set. I bypassed the drl wire as I don’t like wires in my engine bay if I can avoid it. I just direct wired them into a harness. They function with my parking lights. Overall I’m super happy and love them. Tricky to get high beams where you want them have to turn the bulb to find the proper location for beams.

[@ricardopadilla6955]

​@@fst5256 any photos? I want to keep the oem look on my car but with the black housing. These look to be killer compared to opening up my oems, painting them black, installing new lens and then realizing I cant go back to victory red lol.

[@mikektmrdr9005]

Nice assembly, I prefer the C6 style over the C7 but I like my inner's body color. Black sticks out like a sore thumb to me on any color except a black car. My C6 is white so the black inner's would look like two black eyes. Just my opinion. I did put switchbacks in my turn signals and that made a big difference.

[@InJasonsGarage]

White C6's look great. I personally like them all white or with black accents like the roof and headlights. Can't go wrong either way! What switchbacks did you go with?

[@mikektmrdr9005]

@@InJasonsGarage Sorry. I don't remember the brand. Got them off Amazon. I did also install the LED backup lights per your site (thanks for the discount!) and they are a great upgrade. Two of my club members also did the change. BTW, the white GS in your video at SEMA when you introduced the Coplay products is just like mine except I have a conv.

[@louisappel6884]

I have to agree that the lights look great on a black car but I wouldn’t install them on my Monterey red Vette. Too bad but I really like the original look. Thanks for all the great details!

[@InJasonsGarage]

Thanks for the input!

[@pilotgirl5953]

Price is ok and they will probably look great with you build, however my goal is install the C7 sequencing light replacement. I really like them. So glad there are so many options to satisfy all of us ! Thx for the great vid.

[@tommywood6378]

Me too. I thought I saw a COPLUS C7 style on a video somewhere. Then again, I'm old a a bit senile too probably.

[@chaff5]

I definitely like that they still look like C6 headlights. While I do like the C7 look of headlights, I feel like your generation of Corvette should look like that generation and not try to make it look like another one. That being said, I'm looking forward to what you can do about making it a full LED setup rather than a partial.

[@tommywood6378]

I have a C6 and I thought I saw COPLUS either offered now or was going to offer in the future a C7 style assembly. I like the sequential turning signal LEDs. So could you comment on the C7 syle lights for my C6?? Thanks!!!

[@tonyt.392]

How can i connect the side marker turn signals with these headlights??

[@d-one-and-only]

Nice video. but if COPLUS does not allow consumers to fit int stock HID if they want to and they are also sealing the LED means that there is no way of upgrading / maintaining these units in the long term ... so its a no for me. I would definitely consider them if they had an alternative / similar assembly that would allow you to retrofit the stock lighting into it (HID).

[@InJasonsGarage]

Yup, I do mention this at the @5:45 mark.

[@shawnmcneely4979]

I really like them. I actually like the black hsg. Trying to decide which headlights to install on my white C6

[@MrKwilliams71]

Just Got an 08 C6

[@ScottO84]

After owning 2 pairs of the Morimoto XB C7-style headlights, I can say that the rubberized seal and everything behind it on the rear of the unit looks identical in build style and materials to those. Everything about it is seemingly Morimoto quality, which I felt rivaled OEM on my sets. In terms of styling, I felt the only thing that aged these cars was the headlights, taillights, and old incandescent bulbs. After buying my C6, one of the first things I did was upgrade every possible bulb to LEDs, change the side markers, and swap the headlights and taillights for Morimotos. That being said, I do feel that the C6 style looks good, especially with darker housings (which I know isn't for everyone). The fact that these give an option for people to retain the styling is excellent, but I find myself surprised they didn't make the switch to full LED. Overall, with these cars all being 10+ years old now, so many of the stock headlight units are starting to fail or just become dangerous from a lighting aspect. It's nice to know there's an option out there for those that love this style.

[@InJasonsGarage]

Thanks for the input!

[@crazyrican81]

Compared to Morimoto´s headlights, is the quality as good because now I am intrigued to get them thanks to your video.

[@InJasonsGarage]

My understanding is they are similar in quality, if not the same.

[@crazyrican81]

@@InJasonsGarage thank you, I ordered a set and excited to see how it looks when they come.

[@crazyrican81]

@@InJasonsGarage I just got the headlights for my c6 and they are nice, the only thing I encounter was the mounting bolts had to be swapped from the OEM unit because didn't come with the washers, the pigtail is too short and the alignment setscrew is very difficult to adjust because it does not come with the same mechanism like the OEM ones.

[@danlaur7973]

Jason, nice video...for $800. I don't think that it's worth the money to change out the OEM units to these

[@petelanzone484]

Agreed. spend that elsewhere. Put led bulbs in the oem much cheaper and perhaps better lighting than either.. :)

[@ejaisonl]

@@petelanzone484 LED bulbs in a non LED housing are garbage.

[@Resist_JWO_1984]

Agreed. Not good at all. That design doesn't make sense vs. the original. At $800, it's not a good upgrade for the money. Installing F9 or H60 LED would be a much better and cheaper option. If possible to install NHK 4+ projector into a low beam, that would've been my choice if I owned c6 corvette. The other beautiful led style @4:05 is worth it.

[@petelanzone484]

@@ejaisonl Well opinions vary.

[@d-one-and-only]

@@ejaisonl i do not think it is the case actually because the LED is sealed and so the projector setup might be tailored for LED use ......

[@frozgt77]

Was excited about these headlights, however when trying to order, they wanted $150 for shipping from CA to MO? 😮Just curious if you purchased these lights from Coplus or if they were given to you?

[@TallifTallonbrook]

30% is how much stiffining material is in the mix. Carbon fibers or Fiberglass. The higher the content the stiffer and more durable the part. Conversly it shortens the die life in the factory.

[@z512345]

JASON , this may sound stupid , but why not just change the bulbs to LED??

[@InJasonsGarage]

Don't sweat it, buddy...that is a GREAT question! There's a couple of reasons why... 1) People want the upgraded DRL bar to make the headlights a bit more modern. 2) More importantly is that there doesn't seem to be a good LED replacement for HID. Check out this video from my friends at Headlight Revolution: blog.headlightrevolution.com/d1s-and-d2s-led-headlight-bulb-replacements-brighter-than-hid I think this is why you don't see the big LED headlight replacement manufacturers offering them. However...since I have a rule of "different environments will give you different results" (especially in reference to my other channel, @carlightreviews), I kinda wanna buy some LED versions of the D1S to replace the C6 Corvette HID and see how they actually work out. Interested in seeing that?

I would love to see a comparison test video of the latest D1S LED plug & play replacements for HID bulbs in the C6 original headlight housings. It’s now Sept 2024 and LEDs may have improved enough to be better than HID’s but no way to know without Jason’s great testing!

ugh, high beam and turn signal are NOT LED - glad to see we have another option but damn, you would have thought those were no brainers?!?!?!?!? The high beam I could deal with but the turn signal .... UGH

You need H7 for the high beam. You do not need a low beam as it is LED.
