1st Gen or 3rd Gen
Hey everyone got a question for you. What do you think looks better 1st gen or 3rd gen halo projectors. I know the 1st gen headlights come in ccfl and i cant find any 3rd gen with ccfl. If you know someone who sells 3rd gen ccfl halos let me know. Also whats everyones recommendation HID kit.

From JM AutoRacing:
"3rd Gen are made by two companies. One company called Sonar which is my style light which uses Real HID projectors instead of halogen projectors and are overal just made better. The second company is called CL Lighting. They are a chineese company and make an identical set of projectors but testing the two has shown that CL projectors have a very poor cutoff and the heat has caused the actual projector lense to burn.

What about Gen 4's? I think they are the best looking projectors out there, but they don't have the Halo's. I had a pair of Gen 2's before but wasn't pleased with the quality of them. Stay away from those.
Between the Gen 1 and Gen 3. I'd say get the Good Gen 3's

1st gens provide the best of of cut off lines compared to any of the others. they are available in with LED or CCFL halos, but if that not your thing, then you dont have to wire them in. 
ps. nice name!

Ohh i do want the Halos i think they look badass i just cant decide which looks better on the cobalt i have seen tons of pics but idk...and i am looking for CCFL they are alot brighter. and thanks i have had that nickname since i was like 10. Also im leaning towards the 3rd gens bc i do like the look of the LEDs on bottom looks good on the car. I really dont want to buy anything for ebay i have known plus i have got **** parts and stuff that they claim will fit my car and doesnt. I would rather go off a company website yes i know ill pay more but thats the price ill pay.
