I still think 1st gen Halo's are the best looking of the bunch. If they could only fix that peeling outer layer issue and make it with CCFL's, it would be literally perfect. Oh, and if they made them easier to aim...

The 4 piece tail lights are from Altezza / IPCW (In Pro Car Wear), and they are the best, but they are so freakin' expensive.

tell ya what, if someone finds out the bulbs and such for each projecter, i'll add that info to the OP and give credit to whoever provides the info for all 3 designs.

edit: found it. UPDATED 1ST POST WITH LIST

1st gen - H1 Bulb
2nd Gen CCFL - H7 Bulb
3rd Gen with LED in the bottom - H1 Bulb

Nice write up man. I like how you put what gen each housing looks like. Hopefully people will not make up useless threads like, "What gen are these?" and "What size bulb do I need?"


Nice work

nice thread, deciding between 2's and 3's....like the 2's with BMW type setup. Whats the significance of H7 versus H1 bulbs and CCFL's...? I'm new to Halos and the like.

Also, the smoked LED's or the pearl black LED's...choices choices.
