The bezels mount using the Corvette’s existing grille slots for a bolt-on installation, requiring no drilling or permanent modification. Fully DOT FMVSS 108 compliant, these light bar inserts are legal for street use in the U.S.

Package Included:
1 x Pair of Chevrolet Corvette C8 | GM Factory Style Sequential LED DRL Light Bar Bezel Insert (ABS Plastic – Painted Carbon Flash Metallic)

Hardware is not included. OEM hardware will be reused during installation.

This bezel insert is the perfect combination of show-car looks and street-ready function, delivering the kind of aggressive lighting upgrade worthy of the modern Corvette C8.

Key Features

The Corvette C8 Sequential LED DRL Light Bar Bezel Insert is more than just a cosmetic upgrade—it’s a high-performance lighting solution engineered for both style and safety. Each bezel is manufactured from ABS plastic with a Carbon Flash Metallic finish, ensuring factory-quality appearance and durability. The smoked gloss black lens perfectly complements the C8’s aggressive front fascia while highlighting the bright LED light bar.

Each insert is equipped with 36 integrated LEDs designed for dual functionality. The cool white LEDs deliver bright and crisp daytime running lights that activate automatically with the headlights, while the amber LEDs provide enhanced visibility for turn signals. Owners can choose between solid or sequential flashing patterns with a simple plug-and-play connector adjustment.

The DRL system outputs 1224 lumens at a 5700K color temperature, ensuring maximum road presence during the day, while the amber signals output 621 lumens for effective visibility during lane changes or turns.

Installation

Installing the 2020-Up Corvette C8 Sequential LED DRL Light Bar Bezel Insert is designed to be straightforward, with a direct clip-on and bolt-on process that uses the factory mounting points. The included plug-and-play harness connects seamlessly to the Corvette’s OEM headlight wiring system, ensuring both the DRLs and turn signals function without extra switches or modifications.

No drilling, splicing, or cutting is required, making this a fully reversible upgrade. While installation can be completed by experienced DIY enthusiasts, professional installation is recommended for the best results and alignment.

Thanks to its OEM-fit bolt-on installation, the bezel inserts integrate seamlessly with the Corvette’s factory grille. The included plug-and-play harness connects directly to the OEM wiring without the need for splicing, cutting, or additional switches. This not only guarantees a clean installation but also ensures long-term reliability.

Compliant with DOT FMVSS 108 lighting standards, these LED bezel inserts are fully street-legal, offering the best of modern lighting performance with the bold, aggressive style that Corvette owners demand.

About Dry Carbon Fiber

Dry Carbon Fiber vs Wet Carbon Fiber — What’s the Difference?

Not all carbon fiber parts are made the same. The biggest distinction comes down to how the carbon is processed — commonly known as dry carbon and wet carbon. Both use genuine carbon fiber weave, but the production method, finish, and performance are completely different.

Manufacturing Process

Dry carbon fiber parts are produced using a pre-preg (pre-impregnated) carbon cloth, where the exact amount of resin is pre-applied by the manufacturer. These sheets are then vacuum-sealed and cured under high pressure and temperature in an autoclave, removing excess air and resin.
The result is a light, extremely strong, and precisely formed component — the same process used in motorsport and aerospace applications.

Wet carbon fiber, on the other hand, uses a hand-lay or wet-lay method. The carbon cloth is laid into a mold and liquid resin is manually brushed or poured over it before curing. Because it’s not vacuum-bagged or autoclave-cured, there’s usually more trapped resin and air pockets, leading to a heavier part and a less uniform finish.

Weight & Strength

Dry carbon fiber is roughly 30–50% lighter than wet carbon. This is due to the controlled resin ratio — just enough to bind the fibers without unnecessary weight.
By comparison, wet carbon or carbon-over-fiberglass parts can be up to 70% heavier, since excess resin and fiberglass layers add mass without increasing stiffness.
For reference:

• Carbon Fiber Density: ~1.55 g/cm³
• Fiberglass Density: ~2.6 g/cm³

Dry carbon also offers a much higher modulus of elasticity (~125 GPa), giving it outstanding rigidity under stress — ideal for aerodynamic and high-load components.

Visual & Structural Differences

• Backside: A true dry carbon piece will look identical front and back — you can see the same woven pattern throughout.
  Wet carbon or fiberglass-backed parts often have a dull, uneven underside with visible fiberglass texture or color variation.
• Edges: Solid dry carbon has clean, uniform black edges.
  Wet carbon or overlay parts may show a white or grey line along the edge, revealing the fiberglass underneath — sometimes hidden with black paint trim.
• Finish: Dry carbon typically has a consistent matte or satin finish, while wet carbon can appear glossy but uneven due to hand-applied resin.
