Hello Fellow Monte Lovers
My name is Paul and I live in Florida.
I'm new to this forum and Monte Carlo ownership but I do believe I got me a pretty decent one :-)
What do you guys think ?
I do need to get the moisture out of my rear tail light, If anyone can point me in the right direction as to re-seal or to get a new factory one. I'd really appreciate it

Welcome to the forum! That is a common problem in our tail lights , try some silicone around the seam.

I am actually from brevard, about an hour east of Orlando along the beach.
(Salt spray is a killer for cars here)
She is a 2002 fully loaded LS with 82,000 miles.
Only problems I have are annoying ones.
The gas gauge wont read correctly, my speedometer lights are sketchy. It seems as if the housing that holds the bulbs in place is dried and brittle and my overhead display doesn't show accurate information.
such as mpg, avg speed etc etc.
Other than that (a few hardly noticeable knicks in the paint) there really isn't a single thing wrong with the car.
I would like to upgrade my headlights and tail lights for something a little more modern.
LED lights looks really good on a few Monte Carlos I have seen recently.
Anyone know of a good site for affordable kits ?

Ebay or Amazon for the aftermarket lights, and could be sensor in gauge cluster or fuel pump sender for problem with gauge reading wrong.

Welcome. Fuel gauge issue is either bad stepper motor in cluster or bad fuel level sender in the tank.
