The 2005 Chevrolet Corvette dim headlight recall is a scam. Chevrolet does not fix dim headlight failure then demands over $750 to repair dim headlight failure. From time of dim headlights coming on they fail after about 10 minutes and do not function again for hours after car is shut down. (moving car has no headlights until bright lights or for lights are manually turned on).

3 Headlights Turn Off While Driving problem

Failure Date: 09/02/2013

Driving on the freeway in traffic at night, my low beam headlights shut off and my only option was to use my hi beams. People were flashing their bright lights and I was blinding other drivers. The next day the headlights came on, then switched off 5 minutes after driving. For the last few days they have rarely even came on, and when they do, they will turn off quickly. I drive my Corvette every day, and this is very unsafe. A police officer stopped me and gave me a verbal warning last night when my lights switched off and I had to turn my bright lights on right in front of him.

5 Headlights Turn Off While Driving problem

Failure Date: 10/04/2011

I was driving at night and the headlights turned off. After further incidents I discovered that the headlights work properly when the car is cold then after about 15 minutes the lo-beams go out. High beams and fog light function still works properly. The dash indicator on dash indicates lights are on even when they are not. It appears to be a thermal problem. You can drive a short distance and the headlights work properly. Park the car and drive it a short time later and the headlights don't work. I've discovered others on the internet have the same issue with the 2005 Corvette and they ended up having to replace the entire fuse box.
