[PICS] C6 Corvette Owner Hacks His Car By Adding C7 Corvette Headlights


Okay, when I first heard that someone had transplanted the C7 Corvette’s high intensity LED lights onto a widebody C6 Corvette, I was a bit skeptical. But after seeing photos of the C6 with the grafted C7 headlights, I am totally sold on this mod.

There is no doubt that the C7’s LED headlights give the Stingray and Z06 its menacing look when you look at the front of the car, but it never occurred to me to think of what they would do on an earlier generation Corvette. The C6 Corvette Z06 seems a natural recipient according to Corvette Forum member Crazy Cowboy who has undertaken the project:

Well, got tired of waiting on the guy who’s doing this for production. I bought the C7 headlights just after the C7 came out with the intent of doing this. (Even though at the time I was driving a C5!). I bought another C6 a couple months ago and came across a forum member who was posting about his C7 headlight widebody project. I was happy to see that and would have liked to buy his if it wasn’t a widebody kit or even maybe if it was but it wasn’t available…..

So yesterday morning me and a buddy banged this out in about 8 hours. Should have it primered tomorrow and painted by this weekend. If I like it and it comes out the way it looks like it is going to, I’ll probably mold the bumper and fender and sell the conversion kit. I’ve seen one other guy with a blue one that I honestly thought his headlights were too high on the fender. I did some cutting on the ends of the bumper to allow these to come down nice and low near the front edge of the bumper cover. What do you guys think?

Judging from the comments, not only are most the comments supportive of the upgrades, but according Crazy Cowboy, as many as six C6 owners have expressed interest in buying the panels should he decide to make a mold and resell as a kit.

Crazy Cowboy has said that pictures of the finished project should be coming soon. In the mean time, take a look at the pics and see if you think this upgrade totally changes the front appearance of the C6 Corvette. We might have to do another Hot or Not post on the subject!
