Looks great. I agree about the eyelids. Looks like your using Morimotos for projectors and 8k hid's?

I am in the process of my own as well. Haven't had time or made the time to finish my project though. This is gonna motivate me however to get my set done. There is one other guy that has done a retro. He did his about 4 years ago though.

I would buy a pair, depending on how much they might be. Is there anyway you could make another pair?

Looks like I need to update my signature.... Yes they are morimotos for the projectors, I did step down to 6k hids though... Although you could consider it a step up as there is more usable light. In my DTS I have the same setup but used 55w ballasts on 6k washes out to about 5k or so. I planned on using 55w in the Monte too but haven't gotten around to getting more ballasts yet.

Wow lots & lots of work but it looks good. Can you post pics up of the monte during the day to see what they look like in the housing on the monte without them on

Sorry for the long delay in posting this.
I have attempted to post both angles of both on and off for HIDs in both the fogs and headlights.

They look great, but I'm agreeing with the others on the eyelids. Its way to over done and takes away from originality. Not a fan of the LED's either. Anything I can do to make my car look less like an Audi is a good move. And too much going on takes away from all your hard work of mounting those projectors

Is that a mohawk I see in your reflection? Or, am I mistaken?

Good work on the retro. I'd love to be able to afford to do this.
