Sweet deal on the headlight, those look awesome on black Montes.
I will though however, be even more jealous after you get that cluster back from BBE.
What color/mixture are you getting done?
Yes, pics of car as it sits would be nice. :P

BBE was doing some research for me on U/V led's but long story short he found that they weren't bright enough for use in our lights. I have always loved the VW's dash boards witht he purple and red lighting. So that was my direction and thought. But as of now I am thinking that I will just do an all red interior lighting. Excluding the map lights, floor lights, and dome lights. Which I am putting in white led's in those areas.

Pics will come soon. It's going to be a short while though because my son should be born sometime tomorrow. Luckily the hospital has wifi so I can connect to the internet and look at car stuff LOL

what are you going to do about your odometer? i dont know if yours is like mine, but mine is green. i wanted to change all my lighting to, but the odometer and the radio/clock being green turned me away. i dont want it to be christmas all year long. i actually sent bbe an email about it but never got a response.

Unfortunatly there is nothing to do about the odometer. However, the radio is getting swapped out for a Pioneer nav unit sometime next year in the summer/fall time. I thought about talking to BBE if swapping in the Grand Prix's red odometer from like a 04+ because i think there's are similar to ours (digital). Where as the 97-03 GP had a odometer that actually turned.
