The new C8 Corvette features an exciting mid-engine layout complemented by a fresh exterior style, and now, Chevy Camaro owners can get a slice of that next-gen aesthetic with these Corvette-inspired taillights.
Offered by aftermarket/performance parts dealer AutoAddict, the new Corvette-inspired taillight housings are designed to fit 2014- through 2015-model-year Chevy Camaro models (fifth generation). Two designs are available, including the Velox design, which incorporates a black and red taillight lens, and the Umbra design, which incorporates a black and smoke taillight lens.
Both designs utilize LED lighting elements and come with the same checkmark-shaped design as the C8 Corvette to brighten up the tail section of the Chevy Camaro. Both also come with red LED turn signals along the outer edge of the housing and white reversing LEDs along the inner edge of the housing.
Pricing for both the Umbra and Velox taillights are set at $825 per the AutoAddicts website, although it looks as though there’s currently a sale that saves a little over $100.
AutoAddict is showing off the new C8 Corvette-style taillights on a pair of modified Chevy Camaro Coupes in the following brief video. Clocking in at four-minutes, 30 seconds, the video is simple, featuring the Bow Tie muscle machines as they prowl the streets of Anaheim in Southern California.
The video opens with some day shots of the two muscle cars before transporting us the Angel Stadium parking lot, where we get to see the taillights glowing at night.
The two Chevy Camaro Coupes then tank up at a local gas station, before once again rolling out on the streets. Both cars look to be heavily modified, with air suspension slamming them to the ground, and heavy aero upgrades to boot. Add in the C8 Corvette-inspired, and the these machines look like they have what it takes to command attention no matter where they go.

Front splitter eats the pavement leaving the gas station. Lights look good to me.
Why? people are already complaining about the familiarity of both tail lights.
No, no they didn’t… Well I guess that many of us said they looked like Camaro taillights since they dumped the round ones. I have said the Corvette designers took a holiday and the Camaro guys finished the rear of the C-7… I found it was a turn-off as much as the loss of the flip-up headlight.
But alas, there is a C-7 in the garage next to the C-4, of which I changed the light mechanism twice making the fixed headlights look better… If the Camaro guys want the look, it was theirs in the first place…
My point, if their tail lights look similar, then why do the Camaro guys have to change their tail lights? It dosen’t make any sense? Unless you can notice a difference.
The Camaro and the Corvette should not have the same taillights, they are 2 different cars. If you want your Camaro to look like a Vette buy a Vette. And don’t make the Corvette look cheap by making it look like a Camaro.
I own neither car but what’s the big deal anyway.
Saw these in the wild already. Very tacky. They don’t match the Camaro’s styling so they look out of place.
Also seems weird to waste money on lights instead of go fast parts, but maybe I’m a just a curmudgeon.
Trying to bring the Ricer culture to the Camaro’s. I like the carbon fiber Gurney spoiler alot. But, the wing is a no. I like the tail lights too.
Maybe I prefer to have back seats and want my car to look different than other Camaros. You probably don’t own either but, thanks for your useless comment.
I am a corvette owner. And have a new one on order. To each his own.
