Default headlight retrofit

My name is Andre and I was wondering has anyone on here ever done or my know of someone who has done a headlight retro fit to a 00-05 style monte carlo? I having been planning on doing one myself but I just wanted to know how difficult it would be to do it. If anyone has some pics or websites that my have some pics that would be really helpful. thanks

I am the member that Trewny15 is talking about. The project is coming along. Slowly getting to a finished product. Taking my time and I almost switched projectors for my high beams. Don't remember what/where the thread is about them, but its on here. I'll find it and give you the link.

Default May I'm not on the right page

I may be on the wrong page... I'm taking about using a total different light system than the Monte Carlos, I am going to use a ENTIRE headlight refit. I don't like the way the headlights are shaped on the 6th Gen. SO I'm looking for JUST the right car that has lights that would ROCK the Monte and a total custom look. I'm can do the body work as well as the fib glass to make them fit, like I said, Ill sacrifice a hood and a bumper cover to get it done, if it fails,,, well it fails... BUT if it looks good and works out right... I'm taking the for lights OUT of the bumper ( where they are located and moving them to the under grill with HID LEDs and covering the holes for the fog lights) SO, as I said, I'm not sure if thats what you meant by retrofit or not. But Ill send pics when it at least looks presentable..... MJC..

Hey MJClemm. If you do something like that you will kill the monte carlo game!! I dont think I have ever heard of anyone doing what your trying to do. I dont know anyone who has done just a regular retro. When you done you have to post some pics of that!! Whenever I start mine i will post some pics.
