5th Gen ('95-'99): Headlights
Cover the yellow lights, brilliant idea lol. Final verdict on the Silverstar ultras. Tested them in my dads GMC envoy and they are considerably brighter which leads me to the conclusion that the monte carlo lens is just of bad design. I'm back to square one with my original bulbs and i now need a new plan for lights. My guess is to go HID, recccomendations?
Now would i need highs and lows or just replace my low beam lights? (hate to sound noobish but i'm not very familiar with HID's)
You can do just lows if you want, might be a good place to start and see how you like them. You can always upgrade the highs later.
Hmm ok, i was thnking 5000k, did you need any of the other stuff? Harness, adapter etc...? If these work it'll be good, $30 instead of $50 for hopefully better lights.
Most that I've seen are plug and play. I'm not 100% sure on the relay harness people say you need to use. I'm pretty sure you can just do plug and play on Montes.
I got real lucky when I went looking for replacement headlights - there were left and right genuine GM headlights on ebay - brand new!. I got each for $45 from different sellers (total $90). These were the second set I put on the car - the first was a set of cheap aftermarket lenses I bought in 2006. The cheapo aftermarket lenses looked good, but the pattern was really screwed up - if you aimed the low beams correctly, then the high beams would be way off, and vise-versa. I ended up setting the low aim and living with it until those ones got all cloudy. Sounds like you are seeking something even better than stock, which is probably a good thing if you drive a lot at night.
Thats the problem i have, i have cheap knock off gm lights and the light pattern is just terrible, road is splattered with light that has no form what so ever.
