The T pattern is low beam; they are all lit for high beam.
I am really having to resist the urge to hack the bulbs to make each diode individually addressable and cook up a Raspberry Pi controller.

Re: Corvette headlight rebuild...
Wow those lights look sweet compared to the C4 OEM lights. How do I get those for my 91?
Re: Corvette headlight rebuild...
The C4 headlight uses a 6054 headlight bulb - which is also used in a TON of Jeeps and other vehicles, so there are loads of options for HIDs, LEDs, etc.
The cool thing about the ones I purchased is that they're wired to run on 12V with no power supply/ballast/whatever. They plug right into the C4 headlight harness.

When I was looking around for something to replace my HIDs with, I came across this YouTube video and decided on LEDs. I chose a bulb that does not have DRLs...

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.
