first gens are the best looking imo. the 2nd gen ccfls have a horrible looking ghetto bezel around the projector and the light bar up top was a bad move. thats why im gonna do like emperor and put ccfl's in the first gens.

2nd gens FTW. They are plug and play unlike the 1st and 3rd gens....

lol the 1st gens are basically plug and play. you just have to wire the leds and halos to your preference. i can't stand people who say they aren't it take 5 minutes and some brain power. mine have never leaked etc. yeah the leds started to go but they look cheap neway. that's why i disconnect them all and am swapping in ccfl's for the halos.

Fixed...

My definition of plug and play is you unplug your old ones, and plug in the new ones. No wiring required regardless how long it takes...
