@03SSLE & AwesomeSS: Thank you so much for the kind words ... sincerely. Especially coming form two well-established folks here, & even one having been chosen as having a MOTM at one point.

Did you ever take pictures of the tail lights?

I really like those turn signals, but I haven't had a whole lot of experience with resistors and such.

well done!

Zeke, amazing information.
I'm sure pics don't do em justice.

Also, i'm sure it gets pricey, lol.

@Jomao_o: Indeed it does. Just the "3057/3157/3457" amber/red parking/turns LEDs are $25 a piece.

There are SIX in our Montes, as you well know ... There's a buck-fifty ... Sticker shock, yeah ... But the $h!t we do for our rides ...

Which ones did you use for the interior lights by your feet? I like how deep the blue is. I picked up some cheap ones from autozone a while back and they are way lighter than yours.

@wiseheak: I am sorry it took me so long to get back to you here, ... had stuff to take care of ...

I get all my LEDs from SuperBrightLEDs.com. The exact part # is: 921-B12. It is a 12 LED fixture that fits right into "194" slots ... whether you use the ones already there, or add more like I did. You can see what other colors are available here, & a TON more that is available inside & out for Monte Carlo's, or any car, etc. ... http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...FT13_specs.htm

Hey Zeke, not a problem at all. I actually saw the post you had earlier in this thread after I asked you the other day :p but I went ahead and ordered the x9 bulbs, I'm hopin they'll still be decent though.

@wiseheak: It's all good. I could not decide when I browsed through there the first time, so I bought a few of each type & # of LEDs, then tried them out, & went from there.

I also use the same 12-LEDs for reverse lamps ... as I know one picture shows. Illegal as all H3LL, but, if I am stopped, I have the tools & bulbs to change on the spot ... & a lot of police will allow that in this area, if you are decent with them, with a stupid mod like this ... even with window tint ... seen many people ripping their tint right off in a parking lot, or get a ticket, etc. Or if I chose not to change the lights, say, in the rain, I have 48 hours to change, & the ticket is null/void.

Then the blue LEDs go back in.
