thanks for the clarification! has anyone had any problems with the 1st and/or 3rd gens?

 

will the halo projectors black (top picture) fit on a 2008 cobalt special edition?

 

I wasn't aware that there were problems with the ccfl's. Can somebody tell me what is going on with them? I had the first gens, but they were garbage. That's why I bought the ccfl's. When I bought the 2nd gen's I did notice that one of the halos were not lightinging up in the passenger side light, so I sent it back for a replacement. That was 2 weeks ago. Still waiting on the stupid company (CTR USA) to send me a new one. SO, if you buy headlights, don't do it from CTR USA on Ebay.

 

still have those 1st gens?

 

Sorry, I don't. When I hit a porcupine the morning of 7/24 I suffered severe front end damage. It was bad enough that the front bumper was pushed up on impact and broke the headlights. Since insurance was only going to replace them with OEM at a price of $246 each I decided to have insurance send me the check. That's when I bought the ccfl's, had them installed when the repairs were being done, used the rest of the money to pay my deductible, and threw the 1st gens away.

 

i'm looking for a tutorial to install my halo headlights, i just got them today?? does anybody have a video or something showing how to do it??

Thanks!

 

Look in the How To section

i has projectors .... anyone?





perfect for a retro fit....

these lights came out of 07-08 passat i beleave. they are non h.i.d. and run regular bulbs. they can easily be converted to run your existing h.i.d. 9007 with some altering .

perfect lights for a retro fit if you have the time. cut off is really nice on them and with a higher uotput light they would be really nice.

$125+ shipping obo[/

 

That's a nice idea. I did see something a little different tonight though. There was a white Porsche Cayenne GTS I believe that had a white ccfl tube in place of the led strip you would see on an Audi. Then he turned on his turn signal, which was the same location as the ccfl tube, and you could see a hint of amber flashing behind it. I thought it was neat.

 

i like the new audi headlights with the row of leds on the bottom. anyone seen it?

 

yer sedan looks beautiful!!! there did u get that wing from??? id love to get one like it in my color

 

i know this has probably already been asked and answered but i didn't feel like going through 18 pages to find it.

what is a good name brand of hid kit for high, low and fog lights?

i don't want to spend a ton of money but im not lookin for ebay junk either.

thanks!

 

anybody? Please I Need To Know Soon!

 

3b (or 3d cant remeber ) specialties.... they are one of our vendors, good pricing for exactly what you want , good warranty , and they just had a group buy or sale.....

look into them before going to ebay imo

 

damn u cant read some pages?

 

I like Vision Bulbs. They are also a vendor on here.

 

Lol just noticed that in the 1st gen projector pictures that are in the 1st post, the housings when they are lit up are wrong...ex: the chrome projectors have a black housing in the background with its lights on, and the black housing ones have a chrome projector in the background...wth?
