[VIDEO] C8 Corvette Owner Shares His DIY Project for Adding Custom LEDs in the Engine Bay

It’s been great fun watching how owners treat their new C8 Corvettes over the last year. While some like to baby their cars and take every precaution around them, others like to dive right in and they aren’t afraid to start taking things apart.

In this DIY video by AzuluzA who is the owner of a 164-mile 2020 Corvette. When ordering the car, he decided to hold off on the Engine Appearance Package which includes LED lighting in the engine bay. Now that he’s taken delivery of the car, he wants to add his own light kit to brighten up the LT2 V8 engine.

He goes through the process of removing trim panels for access to route the wires from the interior fuse block through the firewall which provides the power to the custom LED light kit. He says of the project that his initial goal was to not have to cut or drill, but once into it, he had to make some adjustments for mounting the lights.

We can also appreciate an owner wanting to share his knowledge with other Corvette enthusiasts. As it’s his first video with his C8, he has a hiccup or two during the filming and hopefully, the budding YouTuber will add some additional lighting to his future projects. But he certainly seems to have these kinds of installs down and the end result is always fun to watch having felt like we were there from start to finish.

We’ve written previously about the LED customization trend in our hobby and the great thing is there are plenty of kits and even wireless lighting setups that can be used to add even more enjoyment to your Corvette ownership. The term “light them up” has a whole new meaning these days!
