My '99 has the automatic climate control. All functions work correctly. The florescent display works perfectly with no flickering. The problem is that when I turn on my headlights, no control button lights come. At night I cannot see the control buttons to select and change settings. Is this a...

Instead of raising the esteem of the line as a whole, it will have the opposite effect. It will definitelly lower the perceived value and quality of the Corvette. Absolutely true. ...And it looks silly, goofy, and worse.

My B&B experience B&B has a great sound -- I bought the Route 66 in November, 2005. It's about 20% louder than stock. They have a solid deep sound. The salesman at B&B told me that they have dyno'd various X, Y and other configurations, and there is no power gained by replacing the stock H pipe...

Michelin I replaced the Goodyears with Michelin runflats 2-1/2 years ago... 5,000 miles ago. They run somewhat quieter, roll over bumps without that jarring thud and feedback through the steering wheel. Considering safety, convenience, street performance, I will stick with these. They were...

Just an idea... Is the original oil still in your engine? If so, since the oil has been in your little-used engine for over two years, I wonder if it has accumulated some sort of thickening "clumps of something"... and / or that it is not draining from the top back down into the crankcase...

Very Wise Nucferr, You demonstrated wisdom and rational thinking. I hope you drive it anytime you are in the mood... regardless of the weather... as I do mine ! Life is too short to waste time and allow a Corvette to sit silent when we are in the mood. Peter

After receiving the GM letter regarding this "not quite a recall", has anyone had the lock plate removed by a dealer? And, if so, were there any PCM changes applied? ...Or anything else to beware of? Thanks, Peter

CAC, Rob & Tammy, Thank you for researching this issue. It will be a relief to have that mechanism removed, gone, and eliminated forever. Peter

I published the text of the GM document as of February 8, 2006. It is located on one of my sites: http://www.GlobalNewscast.com/C5-recall.htm Peter

Has anyone heard anything about a GM plan to remove the steering column lock mechanism on all C5s? One of the other forums has a posting about a letter from GM to be mailed to all C5 owners on February 15, about removal and reprogramming. I heard that it will apply to both manual and automatic...

Thanks. How does it feel shifting versus stock? How's the throw, smoothness, and any other impressions? Peter

Great mod... I'd appreciate it if you could send me info on where and what to order? Peter

Why X-pipe I recently put on B&B Route 66 mufflers only, keeping the stock H-pipe. The guys at B&B assured me that they have dyno'd all the X-pipes and there is no HP gain. They told me that that is why B&B does not sell an X-pipe. After reviewing this and other forums and talking to many...

Hello, I am looking for the low beam headlight lock ring -- or bezel. This is the approximately 3 to 4 inch diameter steel ring that has three slots which the headlight's tabs twist and seat into. I need one for a 1999. Please include the four screws. Peter UPDATE: May 18, 2006 My Chevy...

Rainy driving Hi, b_pappy, yes, I am that one Corvette that is out in the rain and snow and even worse stuff here in Chicago... even salt has bathed my all-time favorite car. I will probably try those Bosch blades. I see they are carried at a Pep Boys about 10 miles from here. It is the only...

Lock ring Hi, mqqn, I agree and think the whiter light was worth the trouble... and almost worth the scraped arms and wrists. Now I am asking for more assistance. I have that one low beam bulb that is precariously sitting in its lock ring seat. It has held for the first hundred miles, but it...

Installed all Thanks for all your thoughts. I installed both high and low beam bulbs this morning. I am out of practise when it comes to such complex, hi-tech, 21st century mechanical stuff, but I really thought I could change four light bulbs. However, consistent every Vette I have ever...

Eureka !!! Bossvette, Thanks to your help, I went out and photographed the torx area. What I discovered looking at the photo was that I could reach up in front of the plate and around the light assembly using my index and middle fingers. Using two fingers I twisted the bulb socket out of the...

Thank you Thanks for the research ! I will finally have to buy a torx tool now that I'm working as my own mechanic. Thank you.

My unclear question clarified I may have misled everyone with my original post. I need to replace one of the two bulbs above the license plate that illuminates the rear plate. Can I get to those bulbs from inside the trunk by removing the vertical carpeted panel? Thanks
