If you don't want the halos and less you can just all of the wiring off and take it out. That way you still get your awesome cutoff and you don't have to spend more money on another set of headlights.

Exactly. I have mine set-up with a seperate switch for the LED's and Halo's.
But i love how the Halo's look during the day.

I love my CCfL halos. They show up good during the day also. Bright enough I can see their reflection in the bumpers of other cars.

The 1st, 3rd and 4th gens are US spec "Z" cutoffs.

The 2nd Gen is ECE.
