Light output on Gen 1, 2 and 3s are about the same and not too great. Gen 4's are the best in terms of quality and light output out of all the "Gens".

Retrofitting will get you optimal light output and quality.

Cough* biased cough*cough* I have a set of aftermarket projector headlights I bought'' off a user on here and they aren't bad, but still can't wait to do a retrofit on my factories. Nothing is better or more satisfying than doing it yourself and having something that everyone else can't just buy.

I have a set of 1st gens that I painted and added CCFL rings to, one of the leads broke for the outer rings so I just snipped the wires since it isn't repairable without buying new rings. Also replaced the clear lenses with OEM plastic, the original lenses were peeling and flaking.

Only thing that doesn't is the outer rings don't light up because one of the leads broke on the ring. Other than that though they're g2g. 6k HID lows and halogen highs, modded the wiring so highs and lows are on at the same time when you turn on the highbeams.

Back when they were on my purple LT.
