C6 Corvette Turn Signal Replacement and LED Low Beam Headlight Upgrade
In this episode I replace the burned out front left turn signal and upgrade the low beam headlights to 6000K LED bulbs. Pretty easy change and upgrade with just a few tricky spots.
Thanks to Bobby over at Choppy's Headlights www.choppysheadlights.com for the low beam LED bulbs and the support! choppysheadlig...

Great video thanks for the info! Tip: I use a magnetic screw driver they are awesome for those tiny screws. I have one that I bought in 1975!lol. Not sure they make them anymore. If so cheap and a great investment. I use mine all the time. The grease was a good idea though.

I wish I had expected to drop a screw and I'd have been more prepared. Great example of the stuff that happens though. I need to make a set of magnetic screwdrivers.🤔 Thanks for watching and commenting.😎

It wasn't as easy as I had expected but getting my fingers in there was the issue.🤣

Why didn't you use a magnetic tip screwdriver or bit? They also make now 1DS LED bulbs that's a direct replacement fit for the HId, plug and Play. Amazon has many different types.

I didn't use one because I didn't have one, more of a cautionary for everyone else at this point. I did use an LED replacing the HID, the new bulb is a 6k led.

Feel bad I've been holding off that project for so long. Not sure what's next, maybe the high beam LED's.

Agree, not all yellows work IMO.

Great video. I'm surprised you didn't just go ahead and upgrade your turns to LED while you were in there. Probably not much more money either. How much better light output are your low beams now?

@YellowJacketGarage 2 жыл бұрын

I was going to but just needed to get it functional for a quick road trip. The low beams are brighter but now show how horrible the HID high beams look.🤣

have you ever did a video on How To Remove the Headlights on a C 6 : 2005-08

The title of your video was adding an LED low beam headlight but you put a hid back in...?? 🤔🧐

No, it was an LED bulb I replaced it with. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Did you need to disconnect battery for this? Replacing bulbs?

@YellowJacketGarage 9 ай бұрын

I've never done that and never had an issue since the bulbs aren't powered on at the time.

@Tito-bv6om Жыл бұрын

Excellent, how much were the new bulbs? I have a c6 and recently I noticed one of my bulbs lights up normal which is white blueish and another lighting pure white. Have no idea how that happened. My lights are stock never been touched.

@YellowJacketGarage Жыл бұрын

The LED bulbs were a gift so I don't have the price but I'd recommend Auxito (www.auxito.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAi8KfBhCuARIsADp-A56xO60VGyy8HVSR9-rFsLAa6mony228htgvPIBzyh4WR9zKfkq5VkUaAllFEALw_wcB) as a source for LED bulbs. Sounds like you're needing to replace some bulbs, LED is the way to go.😎

@@YellowJacketGarage yup might as well go LED. I'm just torn between the 4300 or 6k. I like them being white, they could have a tad blue but I mostly want better visibility then what I have now.

@YellowJacketGarage Жыл бұрын

@Tito I went 6k because if I'm driving at night I want to be able to actually see. My first conversion was my daily truck and the 6k was exactly what worked best for me. Let me know what you think about the choice you make and how it works. Maybe your info can help someone else make their choice easier.
