Easy---

HID Fog Light in place

HID on the left, regular on the right

There is plenty of space to hide all wires and ballast in the fog lights compartment

Next, reverse lights

LED reverse lights

Rear side markers. NOW- hold it. The drivers side is easy but, remember the passenger side has the charcoal canister there.
My GF helped me, using her small hands it was able to reach the rear/passenger side red marker. That one was a PITA
The picture is the driver's side.

Those lighting fixes are impressive.

The LED lights should also last nearly forever, if made right.

The fog light housing on my '91 was partially melted and nearly ruined from an improper bulb installation by the P.O. Also, the brighter 50 watt 885 bulb seemed to give off more heat than I wanted as the housings are expensive if you can even find one. I would like a brighter light, however, for evening driving sans headlights which brings me to my question.
How hot are the HID fog lights compared to stock?

From what I have read the HID lights are actually cooler than stock.

Looks good Pete, you must have spent over $1000 on lights alone.

Oh no, you see you can buy all that stuff in eBay from a guy in Hong Kong. This guy sells the good stuff and way way but wayyyy cheaper. I even bought 4 H7 bulbs for my DD.

The HID headlights and fogs were not even $200. Remember, just use the Corvette part (H4 & 9006), dont use the Corvette name (Corvette HID Lights H4)

Has Yosi updated the kit to include a weather pack for the factory connection. Is it still insert, bend and tape the hell out of it and hope it does not corrode?
