Do you have to modify the Gen 4 to put HID's in the housing? Or is it like Gen 1?
Debating on getting Gen 4 but need me some HID's lol

 

they get put right in. just swap bulbs. the size is H7

 

Awesome, thanks man! I'm so getting these. Should of bought them when they first came out.

 

Get the 4th gen with 6k's HIDs u'll love them, thats what i have and i love it i have HID's in the high's and lows and it's like replacing any bulbs ! I had 1st gen's and i like the 4th gen output better !

 

I might get 5k or 6k

Where did you get your 4th Gens at? Do you have any pictures of them on your car?

 

i love my gen4s. youll have to cut the dust cap but thats it

 

i got mine from mpx

 

Where's the dust cap? Is it the rubber fitting that goes over the back of the bulb?

 

yup. i cut an x in mine

 

yeah

 

Cool thanks guys. Looks like this will be my next purchase

 

So no ballasts needed with Gen 4's?

 

get retros dude i swear. altho gen 4 have a good cutoff ypu will get stress cracks. its reallly anoying. i have them in mine and my friend had them in his. if you can get a good deal on retros i would get them

 

Supposedly you won't get stress cracks with the newer gen 4's

 

Curious myself. If you send your stock headlights to buy hids, you can get retros for pretty much the same price as Gen 4 + 2 hid hits (high and low).

Thats my personal debate.

 

send them where?

 

who needs hid high beams.



ah i got them when they first came out. who knows tho.

if running hids you need ballasts. if not than no becauae halogen bulbs dont use ballasts

 

i got my gen4s last year around christmas and mine are fine. and they have a 1 year warranty.

 

There's an option from buyhids.com where you send them your stock headlights and they use those to make the retros. Saves the cost of the stock headlights.

 

that is true.

 

Hmmmm? If this is true I rather have retros but just really depends on the cost. Retro's are always going to be better IMO but I just never got them because of the price. FML

Do you have any pictures of them on your car?

 

I'm in the same boat as you really. Retros are expensive. But if you take into account the costs, its gonna be about 300 dollars + shipping for Gen 4s with HIDs (and 400 if you put HIDs in your highbeam). If you get retros made from your stock headlights its only gonna be about 400 dollars. Kinda sounds worth it in my opinion. (And for that you get highbeams).

I think people often don't consider that the price of HIDs comes with the retrofit price where the Gen 4 you need to put 100 extra on top of that for low beam HIDs.

 

I can snap a pic of my GEN4's. I like them but I also want Retros!!! SO MANY CHOICES!!!

 

I like my gen 4s a lot so I took them to the next step and retrofitted them instead of the stockers. Quad projectors looks awesome.

 

I had Gen4's with hids originally. They are by far the best lights for a kit. Then I retro'd them with RX330 projectors. Then I retro'd my stock lights with TL projectors. Now I could never go back. TLs are the ****. I've got 50w ballasts coming in the next couple days. Add in a pair of the best bulbs available (Osram 66240CBI) and nobody can touch the output.
