As the title states, I have some money lying around and it's wanting to be spent. I am looking at buying some new lights on ebay, just not sure which ones I want. It would have to be easily installed , I have very little electrical wiring/soldering skills whatsoever. I would just like some input about what ones I should get(pros,cons). Any ebay sellers I should stay away from? Thanks!

the easiest one would be CCFL headlights because it is plug and play while all the other versions require some sort of wiring (as far as i know)

you can also consider getting the tail lights from ebay too

3rd gen are ccfl

Viper33884

Wrong 2nd gens CCFL

And I would get the CCFL's for sure.

FiscalFizz

I am thinking of getting some, but without any HID system? Is it that big a difference putting an HID system in with GEN II CCFLs?

Doesn't look like crap using the halogens they give you with the CCFLs ?

Viper33884

No it doesn't look that bad with Halogens, of course HID's would look so much better but for now the halogens they give you will be ok.

creedin

so ccfl is just plug/play? and no matter what if they are ccfl they are plug and play?

ccfl an upgrade from the stock lights? will i notice that much?

Viper33884

They are plug and play. The CCFL projectors come with a set of low beam projectors and open fictures for the highs.

CCFL is the halos, much much brighter than standard led halos.

CCFL stands for Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps

And there a completely new housing.

creedin

okay, but its just plug and play, by that i mean i don't need to put anything in them, not bulbs or anything you said "open fixtures for the highs." does that mean i can put highs in them, but i don't need them to get good lighting?

Viper33884

Plug and Play. And what I mean by open is their is nothing blocking the bulb for the high beam so it's bright as WOW. All bulbs come with it. When I bought my 1st Gens I had to wire it all up and swap bulbs out and constantly replace LED's in the Helos......

Jesse_Chouinard

Really? I bought 3rd gen and it said that the halos were ccfl. hmm...

hinow41

I just got my CCFL and Holy *#$(# I love them. No pic can make them look as good as they are in person

Viper33884

Nope, from what I know of only the 2nd gens came in CCFL's. The 3rd gens were LED's....but then again I could be wrong.

Yea I know, a local Balt owner has them and he can drive with out his lights on and the CCFL's are bright enough to see.....awesome hands down. I will probably be upgrading to these soon.

creedin

so the ccfl is better because of no led, i want to set it and forget it, so will upgrading them cost me later on?

tombomb

yeah... 2nd gens are DEF CCFL, and you would DEF be able to tell the difference, i have had both and it is unreal how much brighter the CCFL halos are from the LED

FiscalFizz

Im sold, 2nd gens it is.. I mean come on, not only are they brighter, but they are plug and play.

JUST SET IT.............*audience* AND FORGET IT

CCFL are just as cheap as the leds but they are brighter and last a bit longer then LeD's.

Viper33884

Trust me you will not be disappointed. And they cost probably $140 shipped.

Did a quick eBay search, I dunno about the seller but you can search for others. And the CCFL's are white not blue.

What do you expect from a foreign company. At least they give you a one year warranty.

CobaltSC06

Thanks for the info everybody! Will be placing an order asap

P.S. I have a black 'balt, what would look better in your opinion(s), a black, clear or chrome light housing?

FiscalFizz

black or chrome..

if you like the black out look then black would be the way to go. i would personally pick chrome for black

Viper33884

Black, chrome with the CCFL's glare way to much.

tombomb

you arecorrect sir! i have the black housing and the CCFL's are so bright they reflect off of the BLACK and its a dull matte finish of black too

PenguinPIE
