Appreciate the step-by-step install! I recently graduated from 1/32 scale slot cars to a 1/1 scale 50th Anniversary coupe, and am now working through exterior updates. I just replaced the tail lights, third brake light, and side markers with smoke LED from vette-lights, super easy install, even the hyper-flash bracket. I'm more nervous about the front corner lights, mainly because I'm not as young as I used to be and those are some tight spaces! Looking forward to watching your other C5 videos, especially on the paint restoration. Great channel!

I ended up installing the front corners from the top by removing the headlights. I’ve removed them several times for HID/LED upgrades so I’m familiar with the process. I couldn’t do it from the bottom because I zipped tied HID and LED ballasts and wires to the brake cooling duct so I can’t easily remove it. I found doing it from the headlights space easy and you have plenty of room to see and work on it. The smoked corners look awesome on my Torch Red C5. Thanks again for the useful video and help! BTW, the spring is very useful, keeps the housing tight to the bumper cover. This is important especially if your driving at high speed. Avoids pressure on the 2 bottom screws and prevents cracks to the bumper and corner light housing

Do these still hyper flash even with the harness install?I was thinking about getting these but that's a deal breaker for me, I don't want to run resistors

@Douglas Z these lights are so impressive. I don't have the hyper flash harness they come with plug-in resistors. There true plug and play . They are 110% worth it 👌

I have been running these for a few weeks. No problems so far. Work great. The resistor though, gets so hot you can barely touch it. I mean super hot. It has bothered me enough that I bought a hyperflash harness that I will be putting in this weekend. Hopefully I can then unplug the resistors. They are hot AF.

@@RubberCityMotoring I put in the hyperflash harness tonight. The lights worked better than before. Before they worked fine but the flashes were sometimes a little off speed like a few quick flashes and then settling down. Also mine really didn't work well if the engine wasn't running. So they worked fine when driving, just a little sketchy if you were paying attention. With the harness and the resistors still in there everything worked perfectly. I removed the resistors and they worked great. Neither of the resistors was still glued on. The tape was baked brown and the black paint on them was gone. They are now copper or copper colored. I'm glad I got them out of my car both because I think they were a problem waiting to happen and because the lights function better without them. $50 well spent. I'm sure all of the hyperflash harnesses are the same but if anyone is interested the one I got was from Corvette Envy and it fit and functioned perfectly.

A little update.. Got the resistor harness in this morning. It took me less than 10 mins to put it in through the under panels by the steering wheel and it WORKED LIKE A CHARM. It’s 4 screws and the whole thing comes down but I would take the center console out which isn’t hard to do and do it that way you don’t damage any plastic tabs. Spend that $50 on the harness and do all the LED work you want on your car don’t depend on those aftermarket load resistors

@@harryharry3193 of what? I don’t record videos but I can definitely guide you. Also you have to shift into neutral or 1st gear to pop that console back and up.. harness didn’t take me that long. It got confusing when I did my taillights to smoked LED’s so I had to switch to a better harness provided by the tech who sent me the lights. My stupid transmission is skipping now I haven’t done shit to it for about 2 weeks now. It skips 3rd and goes straight into 4th

Fuck the resistors they are aftermarket and work depending on the watts that’s shooting out the car. I bought a harness it’s coming tonight from corvette envy or anywhere but it’s simple to put in all it does it balance the flow of the energy to all lights. That harness will come in handy when you install LEd’s on the headlight as well. It’s all about balancing the power that’s all. Those resistors would’ve helped to a lower AMP led but the ones we got needs a harness because those resistors can melt through the plastic and catch on fire
