The approximate failure and current mileage was 89,322.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet corvette. The contact stated that while traveling various speeds, the headlights suddenly failed and the high beam lights were required in order to view the roadway. The contact also stated that the failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where it diagnosed that the body control module needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 63,734. Updated 02/06/14*lj the dealer stated there was an internal underhood bussed electrical center failure.
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.
The low beam headlights initially work when the vehicle is started. They will operate both automatically and manually when selected. After driving the car for 15 - 20 minutes the low beams go out. They will not come on in either the auto or manual modes. The high beams, parking and fog lights all work. After the car sits for several hours the lights will come back on, but will go out without warning. I have had my car serviced for this problem 4 times. The ground was fixed one time, the next visit the control module and ambient light sensor was replaced, the following visit the control on the steering column was replaced. The low beams operated for short periods of time each time. When the lights go out, it is without warning and they will not come back on until the car has been sitting for several hours. I have investigated this issue and it appears to be a very common problem in several corvette and general motors forums.
While driving on the freeway, the low beam headlights on my 2007 corvette went dark without warning. The instrument panel headlight indicator showed that they were still on. I switched to high beams and those lights were working. It seems the low beams work for awhile but stop working after the car warms up for about 20 minutes or so. Also if the low beams were working and the car is turned of for a short period of time the low beams may not work once the car is started again. This seems to be happening more frequently. Clearly this is a defect in the manufacture of the vehicle and a limited recall needs to be initiated for those cars that are experiencing this problem.
While driving, the low beam headlights suddenly went out. After further investigation, a known and documented problem regarding the fuse block under the hood was the culprit. There is a copper wire within the fuse block that loses connection due to the high heat that occurs in the fusebox circuitry but to date, gm has not issued a tsb or recall concerning this potentially dangerous issue.
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. Have had the problem diagnosed as a break in ground wire connection between the bcm and the fuse box. Several fuses in the box are discolored from excessive heat in the fuse box.
Low beam headlights on 2007 corvette shut off without warning. Fog and high beams continue to work. It appears the low beams work initially but then stop working after the engine heats up. This happens very often. Last time they stopped working on the highway at 65 MPH.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet corvette. The contact stated that while traveling various speeds, the headlights suddenly failed. The contact also stated that the failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the headlight relay was replaced but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 71,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet corvette. The contact stated that while driving 45 MPH, the headlights failed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis but they were unable to duplicate the problem. Gm customer service was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 98,000. ...updated 11-01-13 *bf the consumer stated the problem was the fuse block under the hood and was heat related, due to poor design.
While traveling to macon ga about 11 pm in the evening, the low beam lights just went out. I took the vehicle to the dealer the next day to figure out what was wrong. The dealer stated the fix would be nearly $1,400 to remove and replace the low beam headlights (required removal of the bumper). They never stated there were problems with the lights or the low beam system or in general, assumed any responsibility whatsoever. Very disappointed to date; sounds like not only a safety issue but one that will cost me to correct. *tr the consumer stated gm acknowledged the root cause as a defective wire in the underhood bussed electrical center, yet no directive has been issued to recall the affected vehicles.

Low beam headlights simultaneously stopped working. High beam and fog lights continued to work.
Owner of 2007 corvette coupe. Vehicle headlights went completely out while driving on the freeway.the next day headlights worked until the car was warmed up then failed again. After reviewing online corvette forum there were many many complaints of the problem which is attributed to the faulty wiring inside the fuse box under the hood. Had to replace the fuse box at a cost of $400. But this issue will likely re occur because the new fuse box will develop the same problem over time since it has not been redesigned.
I have had since the first occasion approximately one year ago, the lights would shut of or not turn on at all when the car would warm up. Once the car cools the lights will turn on, or the lights will shut off while driving when the car reaches a warmer temperature.
While driving headlights go out (low beams).
Low beams turned off while driving.
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.
Low beams went off. After multiple visits to dealer, it was determined that the bcm needed to be replaced at a cost a several hundred dollars.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet corvette. The contact stated that while driving 50 MPH, the headlights failed. The failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or a repair shop for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 114,000. ...updated 07-10-13
July 03, 2012 9pm - low beam headlights failed to turn on either automatically or manually by switch. For next several days/nights the low beams would intermittently turn on when the car was cold and turn off after the car was warm. Searching the internet identified the underhood fuse block as the most likely cause, many corvette owners had experienced the same problem with the low beams and isolated their problem to this fuse block. I replaced my fuse block july 15 and the problem was fixed. I disassembled the removed fuse block with the intent of repairing it so I would have a spare fuse block if the new fuse block failed. After evaluating the design and construction of the fuse block I concluded that the fuse block will have poor long term reliability. I could repair the problem that caused the low beam headlight failure but any and every other circuit in the fuse block is vulnerable to the same failure cause. Every component/system that receives power thru this fuse block is vulnerable to eventually experiencing intermittent power problems.
Driving at night, 45 MPH on smooth pavement. Low beam headlights went out, high beam remained functional. Since that time whenever driven low beams work until engine compartment warms up and do not work again until engine compartment cools down.
The low-beam headlights on the c6 base model corvette 2005-2008 will stop working with out notice while driving at night. This is due to a known issue with the copper wire connections located within the fusebox. Due to defect and being close to engine bay, heat causes a break in the circuit wire that separates after the engine bay heats up (approx. 20 mins of driving) and without notice, your lights go out. Very very dangerous when driving on highways at speed.please issue a recall on the fusebox.
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.
I was driving home at night and my headlights automatically just turned off and wouldn't come back on...I needed to turn on my high beams in order to make it home safe...after getting home and letting the car sit for an hour they came back on..I read some corvette forums online and saw many people had the same issues..I guess when the car gets hot there's a issue with the corvette fuse box making the lights just turn off. That is ridiculous!! Stupidest system in the planet...please, please talk to chevy about this issue...imagine how many corvettes they sell and the potential hazard this could cause on the road...now I have to go to chevy and spend $800 to get this fixed can u believe that! For something that should never ever occur.
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.
Both hid low beam lights turn off simultaneously while driving at night. Could not reactivate by turning switch off and on. All other lights functioned so I managed to use fog lights to continue the rest of the way home. Tested the low beams next morning, no issue. Tried them later in the day and they would not work. No accident, no wet weather and battery is only a couple months old. Heading to dealership to get resolved.
