Welcome to MCF, Lute!

 

Welcome..

Hey, how do the LED headlights work.. Its been about 8 years since I looked into them and back then they didnt project light well.. Always liked the way they looked but didnt like the low amount of light they put onto the road..

 

Welcome to Monte Carlo Forum, Lute
You have done a lot of upgrades good to see a well maintained ride with that kind of miles.

 

Thank you! There are a lot of great looking MCs on here!

 

I first got Xentech HIDs and had serveral problems with either a bright, or low beam, bulb blowing. Since the LED I’m extremely satisfied. The color looks good and provides a lot of bright light....wish my low beams were as effective. They are some ultra bright bulbs but not the bluish color, but still work well. Since replacing I get and error on the message borard sometimes about “high beam out” but they all work. LEDs are a lot less hassle!

 

to the forum! Glad it's been a source of information for ya!
