I highly recommend it. It feels like a new car now!

The hotspots are terrible and not that great of output because, (With about one whole exception) LED bulbs don't belong in halogen headlight housings. Likely blind everyone on the road even if you aimed them all the way down with the uncontrollable light scatter.

Use a modified 9012 bulb in place of the 9006, its nearly twice as bright and is halogen so the beam will be the same as the factory original bulb 9006 just much much brighter , just trim the long tab on the 9012 bulb and is fits perfectly and the electrical connection is exactly the same . Its a cheap upgrade that works.

That's a great idea to get a kit. I did almost all of my Silverado SS with LED's. Toughest part was the a/c control panel. So much nicer now.

hi, i noticed you only mentioned you switched out the low beams, when you press the high beams, does it still share the same bulb with the low beams being white? or is it different being yellow?

High beams were harder to replace due to the actuator arm being in the way.

@@HorsePowerObsessed If you research how headlights work at all, you would know you're only screwing yourself out of good usable output by wasting light energy to blind people in their windshields, mirrors, and light up the trees due to the uncontrollable light scatter you get as a result of changing the focal point of the light source, instead of down and out on the road where you actually need it.

Did you have to install the hyper flash module to have all the LED bulbs installed?? I know back in the day you had to have one for LED conversions. Just was wondering if LED bulbs now are designed differently to not need the flash module component.

@HorsePowerObsessed

Why does Lasfit not show these as an option for a 2002 C5 Vette? Also Amazon says the LASFIT 9006/HB4 LED Bulbs 72W 8000 Lumens LS Plus does not fit a 2002 C5 vette. Seems strange they are not recommended for the C5 when they are about the only bulb that does not suffer from the "switch to high beam to lower the headlights" issue.

I bought the switchback bulbs you used and have no idea how you managed to jam those things in. On Lasfit site another C5 owner 2003 Anniversary edition says he is using these bulbs also. Tough time doesn't start to describe how these bulbs will not fit! They are at least 1/8 inch taller than will fit in my housing. Perhaps because these housings are notorious for melting from the Halogen bulb, you got yours to go in. I tried on both sides and they will not fit without some kind of modification, not even close. Amazon correctly says they will not fit, Lasfit told me that some C5 owners said they will not fit. I would think that from 1997-2004 these housings are all the same, so I have no idea how you forced those bulbs in. Maybe you should have covered that in more detail than "it'll be a little bit of a tough time" I'll admit you somehow got it to fit, I would have to grind an 1/8 inch off the top to get it to seat in the housing. I hope you pin this comment so others will know that more likely than not, this bulb WILL NOT FIT! But because I listened to you & a 2003 C5 owner's comment on Lasfits product page I have to send these too long bulbs back. Just thought I'd let you know that for most you are giving bad advice to use these bulb. Still have no idea how you jammed these puppies in that housing. Otherwise good video. I used Lasfit for the side marker in the same color as the lenses, they are bright and look great. Good company just wish their switch back bulbs were shorter.
