So I'm looking into upgrading my SS/TC's headlight setup and can't decide which way to go... vote in the poll and post up pics of your car or other cars with similar setups to help me decide.

 

i see no poll

 

Don't get gen 2s, worst performing headlights available. Get gen 4s or leave it totally stock.

 

Also consider saving a bit up for a retrofit.

 

retro fit. stock housing painted black.

 

this x2

 

i have the gen 4's with 6k and there pretty sick probably the best ull get besides retros

 

can you post up some pics of them, day/night?

 

I will when I get home

 

Look in my cardomain page to see gen 4's during the day. The link is in my sig. I dont have any night shots but in sure somebody will help you with that.

 

Still waiting lol

Nice man, car looks good. I have the same bed set so hopefully I'll be seeing a set of those sexy headlights on my bed soon as well haha

 

DO NOT put hid's in non-projector headlights.

 

u shoulda put retrofit as an option. this community likes retrofits alot for whatever reason

 

Because they are the best.

 

output wise yes. look wise no

 

depends on how much work you are willing to put into them. Seen some nice retrofits, seen some blah ones.

 

true but i havent seen a single one id pay money for. the single undersized projector in the stock headlight looks like ass.

im hoping to eventually retrofit my "gen 1 projectors" with a new HID projector

 

hey don't hate. hahah

 

I have generation 2's but I manually re-wired them my own so they perform fantastic :P

 

Yeah, you really should have put "Retrofit" as an option. You'd also get more usable light with 4,300k. The Mini H1s are an improvement over stock. FX-Rs are supposed to be better and they use D2S bulbs. Since they use D2S bulbs, you can run Philips or OSRAM bulbs that provide much better light output than those Chinese bulbs that come with HID kits. If you were to go with any of those projector headlights, you won't really get the full benefit of HIDs since they're meant for halogens.

 

My vote is retros

 

yeah I thought the same at first but with a black housing they look like eyes. It's just a near oem look for the cobalt to me

 

Depo black oem replica, or Depo projectors..Best quality and best looking.

 

Cept d2s bulbs with the ballast attached are expensive as hell.

 

gen 4's or retros. or nothing stock headlights with NO hids
