Multiple fine cracks in both head light assemblies. They are not only unsightly but appears to distort/reflect head lighting. In checking my with local Chevrolet dealership, other Corvettes owners have the same problem. This appears to be a design defect.

We have had intermittent problems with low beams not coming on. We replaced the relay with a new one and it made no difference. All other lights work.

12 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2012

I was driving at night all the sudden my low beams stopped working at freeway. The lights went off without any warning sign or any error!!!! I tried to pull over but since I did not have light I could not navigate my way therefore I hit a flat tire which it was on the side of freeway!!I took the car to dealer and mechanic identified the issue from faulty wiring material from fuse box. " fuse box is to close to engine and that cause copper wires inside the fuse box to get disconnected from panel of fuses. This is a really huge issue with this car and I am not the only one who has this issue. Most of Corvettes with high mileage are having this issue.

13 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 01/10/2012

2007 Corvette lights will stop working without warning. This has happened more than 10 times. All the times except one were on familiar roads where I could stop. Once was as close to a disaster as possible. Someone will be killed if this gm issue is not resolved.

14 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 12/29/2011

The low beams randomly stop working, after the engine heats up to operating temperature, and almost caused an accident. The behavior then repeats every time the car is used (not a one-time event). I, and other owners have identified a common circuit issue in the headlamp controls, which is only fixable by replacing the whole board.

15 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 02/26/2010

This problem started soon after I purchased the car used. I have replaced the brake switch and added four inches of wire to the wiring harness to the telescopic steering wheel. I recently replaced the brake pads and the service handling system soon comes on. There is no recalls on my car and have been to the dealer about the problem and they can't figure it out. I am reading this could be a serious problem and can cause an accident. I have been to the Corvette forum and tried numerous things to fix this. I am currently checking electrical grounds to see if that helps.
