black projector lights?

alright i've got a few questions for you guys, i am puchasing a ss/tc when they come out and i want to get the black projector headlights. now when it comes to these i dont know one thing about them, so maybe you can educate me a little. what style do you guys buy?

these:


or these:


ok......so here are my questions......how hard are they to install? what does it involve, major rewiring? and how does the lighting change? when you put just your running lights on which lights light up? same for the hi beam and lo beam.....which light is the projector, high or low

ok......what if i want to get hids, are there other projectors to buy, or can you put the hids in these housings.....would they blind people? basicly what i am asking is what housing would work best for an hid. thank you for reading this

there's a 3rd gen version but i haven't seen a set of them aimed correctly..

the cut off line on the first gen ones is the best between those two you posted however i like the look of the second gen better the second gen ones are plug and play i think

2nd gen all the way. the cut off on the 2nd gens is just fine, actually has a better pattern for seeing the sides of the roadsa and signs. I put hid's in the 2nd gens and love them, great light output and when aimed correctly the cut off looks flawless on a wall

fully plug and play too, just one plug and the lights are in. hid's ofcourse have some more wires if you decide to get them

the second gen has a more e55 cutoff so yea it's just not as crisp as people expect projectors to be from what i've seen

its every bit as crisp as the 1st gen, its just the style of cut off. no one on this site like new, they are stuck on having the old. the 2nd gen has the newer more effective cutoff style
