Default Headlights

Hey, so I am looking to get new headlights overall because my factory ones are damaged due to being in a wreck. I really like the look of the halo headlights, and I saw them on CariD.com for about $60. But I just saw a video of somebody on that got halo headlights & I don't know where they got them from but they were horrible (didn't fit right, bad safety with the side marker & turn signal, half circle lighting, & aiming of the lights). I'm not sure if they are complete new headlights? Or some type of bulb replacement, but I really would like to know what kind of headlights that's I should be looking for. Any help would be appreciated!

EBAY is loaded with lights that should fit your ride. I just picked up a pair - complete with bulbs, housings, wire harness etc for $145...stock, but they had every conceivable option out there. Mine are OEM, fit perfectly, and were worth every penny. Just be sure you get them from a reputable seller and you should be golden....good luck. And welcome to MCF!

Which Monte Carlo do you have? Because the 6th gen doesn't have projector headlights.

Hmm ok, that sounds like a good deal! It's just that I want to get some type of LED lights & I want to make sure that they are all good for my Monte. But thanks for the advice, I will definitely check out eBay now!

Mine is a 2003 SS, but what are projector headlights?

They are headlights with projector lenses in them instead of the reflecting like what are in your car now. They do not make them for our cars.

You have a choice between the regular lights or blacked out ones for a 6th gen.
