XB LED Tail Lights: Corvette C6 (05-13 / Red Lens / Set)

Morimoto Gen II XB LED Tail Lights | 2005–2013 Chevrolet Corvette C6

The Morimoto Gen II XB LED Tail Lights are a premium lighting upgrade designed for the 2005–2013 Chevrolet Corvette C6, combining timeless Corvette styling with modern LED technology and OEM-quality craftsmanship. While the iconic four-round taillight design has become a signature feature of the Corvette, the factory incandescent lights are now outdated and many original housings have become faded, cracked, or worn over time. The Gen II XB Tail Lights preserve the classic appearance of the C6 while delivering a substantial improvement in performance, reliability, and visibility.

Designed with an OEM+ approach, the Gen II XB Tail Lights modernize the rear of the Corvette without sacrificing its unmistakable heritage. Available with either red or smoked lenses, they allow owners to choose between a factory-inspired appearance or a more aggressive custom look. The red lens version closely resembles an original equipment upgrade, while the smoked option gives the C6 a sleek, contemporary finish that perfectly complements modified builds.

Each taillight features an advanced LED optical light pipe that illuminates the outer perimeter, serving as the parking light, brake light, and turn signal. Positioned around the factory-style rear reflector, the center section houses a powerful integrated LED reverse light that dramatically improves rearward visibility compared to the original incandescent setup. The combination of faster LED response times and brighter illumination enhances both safety and style.

Installation is fast and straightforward thanks to the complete plug-and-play design. The Gen II XB Tail Lights utilize the factory connectors, wiring, and original mounting locations on 2005.5–2013 U.S.-spec Corvette C6 models, requiring no cutting, splicing, resistors, or additional control modules. Compatible with both Coupe and Convertible models, installation can typically be completed in approximately one hour using basic hand tools. (Please refer to fitment notes for early 2005 production vehicles.)

Constructed using premium automotive-grade materials, the Morimoto Gen II XB Tail Lights feature durable UV-resistant polycarbonate lenses, weather-sealed housings, and OE-grade wiring designed to withstand years of exposure to the elements. Built to exceed OEM standards for fit, finish, and reliability, these taillights are engineered to provide long-lasting performance while maintaining their appearance for years to come.
