    Definitely the C4 Corvette light. It is the only one that looks like it is stock. i have the same one on my car.

    Same here, i usually have to point it out to fellow car guys. Nearly everyone thinks it is oem. I even had a die hard corvette guy admit it looks better on my car than his c4.

    Check my thread below, i wrote up a how to install one.

    Definitely the C4 housing. Even with the stock bulbs it looks good but I had to do better. Think I put in 108 LEDs.

    I used the 1999 GM SUV third break light way back then.

    I used LED side firing light strips under lip of the top

    I ordered two 19" black side firing strips. Red LED's (of course) and trimmed to fit. Ran the wires to one side and had to extend the wires down the pillar above the quarter glass and to the brake lights.

    Here is the result

    I'm (very obviously ) impartial to mine, integrated into my BTTF vents:



    I later changed them to light bars instead of the starburst pattern. Having them redone by my fiberglass guy at the moment though to make them both smaller and lighter (and integrated into the louvers too), will have pictures after that's complete. Here's the lighting pattern, integrating all stock taillight functions:

    I assume you mean that you are "partial" to them

    By "Parking" lights do you mean "tail" lights or do they have some sort of European like parking-only function?

    I don't always drive cars, but when I do, I prefer DeLoreans

    No-one is to stone anyone, even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say "carburetor"

    Right you are. Mixed that one up in my head actually.

    "Parking" is the same as the bulbs behind the reflector part of the taillights. I believe that's "tail"? They come on when you press the headlight switch. Basically just tapped into the stock harness.
