Default Question about HIDs on Monte Carlos

To put HIDs in my Monte Carlo do I need to have a separate ballast for EACH light? I.E the fog lights, high beams, low beams, ect ect? or will 2 ballasts suffice all of them?

Well the fact that each bulb is sold with it's own ballast should answer you question...

What intake fits my car, and what muffler sounds the best/loudest?

OK, I'm sorry for being a d!ck. I at least answered the question, and I hope that helped.

Remember the car wasn't meant to have HIDs. Which means you need to convert the voltage to EACH bulb. So yes, start finding a good spot to mount ballasts.

Thanks Chibi, I think I'm only going to do HIDs on the fogs and do silverstar ultras on my lows/highs in hopes that they are WHITE and not like an off white

Silverstar ultras should be the whitest halogen you can buy. And you should be very happy with them.

The only downside is that some member's have a problem with their lifespan, usually lasting only about 2-3 years. Instead of the "crappier" halogen that can last 8-10 years.
