Definitive list of C5 SVA mods?

[LuS1fer]

Anyone have one?

I know about the fog lamp and switch, the rear light conversion, the side repeaters, the mirrors being exempt, the disabling of the DRL's to simple sidelights but is there anything else?

Anybody's import have to change the headlamps or did they pass?

Headlights on mine passed no problem as they dim up and down not down and to the side. Apart from that, I think you have the whole list. Did you include side repeaters? 'cos the standard ones are in the wrong place. I put mine in the 'gills'.

This may be obvious, but hasn't been mentioned. You must have WHITE sidelights (I believe). You can have amber ones as well, but there have to be white ones present.

I think that's right, but you may want to check!

Two problems I hit when I imported the Camaro were that there is a maximum level of tint allowed. I had to strip the film from the side windows as mine was Texas spec. The other thing is that the sensor on the handbrake which brings on the lights is strictly speaking illegal. Don't know if the assessor took pity on me but it got through.

You can get hi wattage UK headlamps for the Vette. They are called T85s and come with a wiring harness. I have also heard that you can get the stock headlights readjusted to pass.

I have a draft copy of the new SVA Handbook if you would like.
