Monte Carlo LED Headlight Conversion

[rmorman]

I've seen quite a bit of chatter on the forum on these, but was wondering if anybody has pictures of a 78-79 Monte with these:

LED Black Sealed Beam Projector Headlight

or

Green Halo Black Chrome Sealed Beam Headlight Conversion

Good? Bad? Ugly of these?

How much modification?

How well do they work?

Thanks!

I did a blue halo light on my 442. Here's what I will tell you. They were glass, a direct fit, and very easy to install. They look good lit up at night. Here is the bad - the quality of the glass was poor. The first night show I went to the glass on the low beams cracked in 2 spots. The lights still work but look like garbage. I paid $129 for the set of 4. Do some research on what you buy and make sure the quality is there so you don't wind up like I did.

Here is a pic all lit up, they still do look good but I need to replace them if I am going to use the car anymore at night:
I added LED strips behind the grill too.

If you are running any color on the front check what your local laws are and how stick they are enforced. In my area blue is emergency only, red is rear only. Green is first responded medical private car only. I do not know if anyone gets caught for this but it is what the law states.

Thanks guys! I might just stay away from the colored ones then. Although I like the idea of the Green ones! Maybe just go with the LED Black Sealed Beam Projector Headlight. Although if quality is an issue.......

The ones I got the blue LED's are wired separately. tkruger is correct about the laws regarding colored lighting. I have mine hooked on a switch and only turn them on parked at shows, never while driving.

Are you happy with the quality? If so, what brand? Do the regular headlights work better than stock? My low beams are terrible.

Not happy with the quality. I got them off eBay. You get what you pay for. They are brighter than stock however.

Hay welcome back. Haven't seen you around in a while. Quite a few new Iowa guys around now. Hope all is well with you and your car!

Well I have never had issues with mine bought from ebay but the problem you have is that you got black housing and it doesn't reflect the light as well as the chrome ones so your light quality will be suck.The ones I had were the chrome projector ones and I had 35w hid kit and my lights were bright as hell like having high beams on so switch to the chrome ones if you want your Headlights to light brighter these are mine and my boy headlight.

Sorry this is my boy car his doesn't have hids but mine does and we have his halo wired with the signal lights so they blink when the signals are on.
