LED's

[C5Rick]

Anyone using LED bulbs, taillights, back up, etc. I read they may cause issues. Thanks.

I haven't used them in my Vette, but I have used them in my street rod. The only problem I encountered was with the flasher. I had to install one rated for led's.

Rick, I have a pair that I bought a while back that will not clear the recessed housing on my stock 72 rear tail light housings. Let me know if you want me to send um over and see if they'll work on your C5.

I bought them from an individual at a small show so returning for a refund didn't work. I'd rather see um used by somebody and we can work out a reasonable price if you like them.

Are your bulbs push and twist or wedge mount ( newer cars).
I belive the number is 3157 for my tails (wedge type).
I was reading were some folks had trouble with LEDs not functioning correctly. I was thinking on installing blackouts and wanted the brightness of LEDs.

Hey Rick. These are old style push in twist mount bulbs. Ya know honestly I didn't know the later vettes had a different system. These won't work for ya sorry.

Hello,
Installed LED taillights about two months ago...no issues unless the battery is not up to snuff.....
BTW...they look awesome!

Did you install single bulbs or aftermarket assemblies? Thanks

Hi Rick,
I went with the entire assembly...purchased from Corvette Enhancements (vendor on Corvette Forum) back in Feb. for 225. shipped. Being the simplistic, weak person that I am, I could not resist!

I have them for the rear tails/brake/turn and high stop. Didn't buy any expensive kits. Aftermarket 30 bulb LEDs with an aftermarket flasher relay. Works great and cost $30. PM me for more details. :thumbsup:
