Ultraman | C5 DRL Replacement.........LED'S? | ||
2015 Memorial Day Car Show Winner!

The daytime running light sockets on my 02 are burnt and melted a bit and I can't keep the bulbs working on the passenger side. I know Tom replaced his entire front units awhile back but I am thinking new sockets or to replace with LED's......any help?
I do have a Dorman part number 85882 but the listing says turn stop sockets and this is for the DRL's and may work ok for those........ |

have you considered ditching the entire popup setup? The C5R light kits are killer better than the stock bricks.
Just a thought. Check with corvettehid.com. He has a ton of stuff. |

Leds/HIDs anything but halogen. They last longer, brighter, safer and I love mine!

Marcus, my corner lights were burned some, and I replaced the entire corner lights.
LEDs are a viable solution. I'll see if I can find where to get them. I know there are vendors. |

Marcus, you can get your LED DRLs here. These are White DRLs instead of amber. These LEDs will cause hyperflash on the turn signals and a harness to cure that problem is available too.

Thanks TBee....I already have the harness in place to cure the turn signal problem that is common in the C5's. I'll take a look.

Not to be silly, but I am a fan of LEDs. They use less current, put less of a load on the electrical system (which is already overtaxed) and last longer.
You call that bling, I call that a good idea. |

Not me, I was just harassing Marcus. I like LED's. I've used them a long time, built an overhead console in Chev Van in 1980 with 12v LEDs in it for the high beams & turn signals. I also build LED "rain lights" for the racecars. |

I have seen that parking lot before... if I am right, it's in Orlando... and I think I have been there. It just looks so damned familiar.
