I signed on real quick. I am still around but I have been busy with finishing school and working 60hrs/wk. Also I picked up a 4th Gen MCSS. So when I have had time I have been putting the effort into it. But I hope to get some free time here soon and post pics of where the project it at

Haha project is just about finished. The last time I worked on this project two week after I got cut off and rear ended the genius in front of me. Car was almost totaled. Long story short after a lot of fighting the car still lives and is in pieces right now. So after I get the darn thing back together I will post pics of everything. I'd say realistically project wont be done till the end of the year. I have a lot of things going and I haven't been on here in close to 6months. I just wanted to update everyone on what is going on.

Honestly the best thing to do would be go to TRS and get a complete retrofit kit. The MM1 Bi-xenon Morimoto Mini Stage III Kit (D2S) - Complete Retrofit Kits from The Retrofit Source Inc has become really popular because it requires little to no cutting to install the projectors. Trewyn15 started a retrofit 2004 Monte Carlo Retrofit using the MM1 seems to be WAY EASIER than doing it the way 7801MonteMan did his.

I believe that Trewyn15 still has them for sell too.

Yeah I do... I may get to finishing mine this week also.

Either way it's pretty difficult to do the retrofit as cutting is required to do it correctly. I chose to keep the stock reflectors to off maximum modability when it was finished as far as moving the beam up and down when they are put on different cars.

I'll have to add more to my thread.

Waiting on more pics on this one tho!
