Good thinking! Thanks guys, I think i'm gonna go with these gen 4's and a HID Kit from DDM Tuning.

Im leaning towards 35w 4300k or 5k. I want that bright white, very little blue look. I was thinking about 55w but I dont think there needed.

Another noob question, okay so our stock headlights have a high and lo bulb, so do the gen 4 projectors have a wiring harness that splits the one connector coming in to allow for the two seperate hi and low bulbs?

another thing with the high beams, is that if you flick them on, they will have to warm up for 10-15 seconds. ha ha pretty pointless. these came stock with phillips bulbs, and they arent bad at all in the high beams

I got them and installed HIDs, the cutoff isn't too great but I still need to fiddle with them a lot to get the aim right. I love them though!

Yes pics pics pics! I'm interested to see more cutoff pics. I've only seen one guy with them installed with hids

EDIT: Just took the plunge and went with the 4th gen! I was debating between just using the stock housing but dont like the glare. Hopefully the cutoff will be okay with these. I went with a DDM Tuning 4500k HID Slim Kit with the relay adapter just in case!

I'll post up some pics when i get them and install them!

My chrome gen 4s came in the mail today, but my H7 HID bulbs aren't here yet, so when they get here I can post up pics of them installed and the cutoff.

I have to say I'm a big fan of the Gen 3's but these look nice too. The Gen 2's were cool too with the brighter halos.

They look kind of like gen2 but they dont have the light-line above the bulbs (an eyebrow?) and the led's actually match the bulbs. And they look sexier to me. If they are gen2 then there must be a reason for those differences.

Those are Gen2s, just that one shows the "eyebrow" disconnected, but dont worry that would fail soon anyways lol.

Alright cool, I started to think that but I wasn't sure because it looked so different. As soon as I see a pic of these gen4s lit up then Ill just dive for them.
