I got the black ones too, as they will go with my silver Monte the best. I'm glad I didn't buy these (they were on my list for a while)...

I'll post some pics of the new ones and my HID's when I get a chance.

OK, got them today and installed them as soon as I got home. These things kick a$$!. One word of advice though: if you modified your tail lights like I did to have all four bulbs light up as tail lights, you will have to undo that mod. Forgetting I had done that, I blew the rear tail light fuse as soon as I turned them on. You have 2 options: either cut the wire that powers the tail light (for the upper socket only), or wire the OE socket back in. I went and tossed mine, and couldn't find any at 3 of my local parts stores, so I cut mine until I find the correct sockets. Here's some cell phone pics of the tail lights and my HID's.

I absolutely love the clean look of the back of your car Paul. The no emblems, stickers, etc really make her look nice! Where in IL are ya from?

Oh yea, and the LED's look nice too...

I see that matrixracing just came out with a new set.  "Platinum smoke"  Are they rumored to be coming out with anything else new anytime soon?  I would like to know before I buy a set.

Debadging was one of the best things I could have done. With no trunk lock cylinder, it really helped clean up the rear of the car. As far as the lights go, they're a great addition but I'm trying to get Matrix to take them back. I want the new Platinum Smoke ones instead!!!


I'm in a NW suburb of Chicago, close to the WI border. And thanks for the compliments.

Looks awesome Paul!  Those Platinum Smoke ones sure are different.  Those would look nice on a blue or white monte i think.

maybe i just never noticed it until now, but did matrixracing always make a "crystal clear" tail light or is that the same as chrome?  i found another site with different pictures and the crysal clear doesnt look chrome at all.  matrixracing labels the chrome as crystal clear on their website, but the picture is still of a chrome tail light.  also on ebay they still call it chrome.



heres the other site i'm talking about.  http://www.mytightride.com/chevrolet-monte-carlo00-led-taillights.html
