Anyone have suggestions/experiences with different headlights? When researching on Ecklers/MAM/Corvette Central/Corvette America/Zip I see that there are several different types available, from halogen to HID-Blue. Any suggestions on which would be "best" would be appreciated.

Those look interesting but I am not seeing tech info on the link. Are they brighter? What wattage? Color temp?
Have you found fog lights too?

Vic, follow this link for some technical info:
http://www.amazon.com/Truck-Lite-27450C-Headlamp/dp/B007ED7HNY/ref=pd_sbs_263_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=5187T5%2BWz3L&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=036FBJ81X2ZV2CH3NQH8
The Truck Lites are much nicer looking than the junky cheapo GE logo with a chrome band.
The lamps are 1300 lumens 1.8 (Low)and 3.2 amps (High) at 12.8V for the wattage. 5,600Kelvin is the
color temp. The wattage is about 23 low/46 high.
I had converted my oem lamps to Hella H4 lamps and then later to HID lamps. These LEDs light
the road better than the HIDs.
I have not searched for LED fog lamps.

If you are tired of the Pop-up headlights due to the motors always failing, you can try a fixed position alternative.
Try CorvetteHID.
I have the HID kits for both the Headlights, and the Fog lamps.

I must say, I like the current "Stock" pop-up headlights that I currently have. Now, with that said.. If I could find a split set, as shown on your car, that somehow fit the pop-up setup, that would be great :-)

Blue headlights don't work. had them, replaced them with white. Physics dictates that all the colors in the rainbow are in white light so if you want to see more then....

Just to be clear all lights are suppose to be white but there are different color temperatures. The newer high tech and high priced lights tend to be colder upwards of 5000. The high it gets the bluer it looks. If you ever took indoor photos without flash it probably looked very warm. Flash balanced to outdoor light is cooler. However since people buy into what is trendy and not necessary good, some manufacturers are making the same old bulbs with a blue tip to make it look high tech-it's not. It worse because of the colored film.
The truck lights mentioned above look interesting, they are drop ins for a C4? Corvettes are not listed in the cross reverence.
