My wife was following me in the day time on our way to the Dyno tuner, and I got ahead of here @ 1/2 mile in the traffic, she told me,, "I could see your tail lamps even from a distance so I knew where you were going". That was in the day time.
The Halo kit is $210, a little pricey but very worth it since the 85 model year does not have a 3rd tail light, it makes up for it. I also put the LED interior lights in the cabin, much brighter! http://www.corvettehid.com/cart/index ... in_page=index&cPath=73_74 The Halo lamps are brigher than the Ecklers due to the roudn Halo |

NOTE: When replacing all four taillight with LED taillights both the turn flasher and warning flasher must be replaced.

The LED circuitry has a different load rating and you need to replace the flasher relays to support that load rating.

Yes, it is basically a higher amp unit and it has aground wire on it so you can run it to the chassis. It was $5 or something at AZ. |

The electronic flasher is one part
The Halo tail lamp is a sealed one piece assembly http://www.corvettehid.com/cart/index ... duct_info&products_id=253 |

There are 2 flashers you need for 2 different purposes(at least on an 84.)
One is the tail light flasher (located in 84 on the passenger side below the "breadbox"). The one I bought from Eckler's had an additional ground wire. and the other is the Hazard Flasher which on 84 is behind the DIC(Driver Info Cluster-warning lights). I didnt buy this from Eckler's because at the time they didnt warn me I needed a second one... so I eventually bought one at autozone and it worked fine :-) Hope that helps your application and an idea of what you may need to disassemble :-) |

I like those lights, I just can't bite the bullet for the cost right now
Now it's time to do your third brake light as an LED if you haven't already |

I really like the instant on feature of LED's.
It's like a slap in the face to the texter/cell yakker that's bearing down on your rear bumper. |
