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

Morimoto Gen II XB LED Tail Lights | 2005.5–2013 Chevrolet Corvette C6

The Morimoto Gen II XB LED Tail Lights are a premium lighting upgrade designed specifically for the 2005.5–2013 Chevrolet Corvette C6, combining timeless Corvette styling with modern LED technology and OEM-quality craftsmanship. While the iconic four-round taillight design remains one of the Corvette's most recognizable features, the factory incandescent lighting has become outdated and many original housings are now prone to fading and cracking with age. The Gen II XB Tail Lights preserve the legendary appearance of the C6 while dramatically improving performance, reliability, and visibility.

Designed to complement the original styling of the Corvette, the Gen II XB Tail Lights feature a clean OEM+ appearance that modernizes the rear of the vehicle without straying from its classic design. Available with either red or smoked lenses, owners can choose between a factory-inspired finish or a more aggressive custom appearance. The red lens version blends seamlessly with the original styling, while the smoked option gives the C6 a more contemporary performance look.

Each taillight utilizes an advanced LED optical light pipe that illuminates the outer perimeter, functioning as the parking light, brake light, and turn signal. At the center of each housing, a powerful integrated LED reverse light surrounds the factory reflector, providing a significant improvement in rearward visibility compared to the original reverse lights. The result is brighter, faster-responding illumination that enhances both safety and style.

Installation is completely plug-and-play, utilizing the factory connectors, wiring, and mounting locations found on U.S.-spec Corvette C6 models. No cutting, splicing, resistors, load equalizers, or additional modules are required, allowing for a simple, error-free installation that can typically be completed in about an hour. The Gen II XB Tail Lights are compatible with both coupe and convertible models, including most 2005.5–2013 Corvettes (see vehicle fitment notes for early 2005 production models).

Built to OEM standards and beyond, the Morimoto Gen II XB Tail Lights feature UV-resistant polycarbonate lenses, weather-sealed housings, and OE-grade wiring and electrical connections for maximum durability. Engineered to withstand years of daily driving and harsh weather conditions, these taillights are built to maintain their appearance and performance for the life of your Corvette.
