heres pics of my 1st gen projectors. the only issue i had is that the right side headlight burnt out twice in 6 months. did some research, they are just crap bulbs. may be better to go to gen 2 with H7 bulbs. also, here is my tails. fully functional brake and turn lights...



and the tails




and the tails

So i bought some anzo projectors cause i thought i'd be safe and stay away from ebay, so i end up paying 500$ canadian for them and they didnt fit worth a **** has anyone else had problems with holes not lining up where the screws go?
well i look at it this way id rather buy new headlights and sell the old ones cause someone always wants stock lights... plus... if you take them lights apart and paint them..... 9 times out of 10 condensation will find its way no matter how good you think you seal them....
I have these tail lights in the mail on the way right now

tell ya what, if someone finds out the bulbs and such for each projecter, i'll add that info to the OP and give credit to whoever provides the info for all 3 designs.
edit: found it. UPDATED 1ST POST WITH LIST
1st gen - H1 Bulb
2nd Gen CCFL - H7 Bulb
3rd Gen with LED in the bottom - H1 Bulb

the h1's have given me some problems... went out twice in 6 months. i would not suggest getting 1st gen as all of the H1 bulbs are crap, whether its a knock off or brand name like Sylvania (like the ones that went out on me)
Freakenn AWessssome!!!
but i was just wondering....it would help out a SUPER LOT more
if u posted the
bulb types of each light?!? atleast for the front ones?
justs make HiD conversions for people a lot easier...
i remmebered wen i was searching for all the different headlights i can use....
then i'd get confused which ones used what bulbs...

I deffinately want the Modern Performance LED tails and if any are left, the LED 3rd tail.
Also my idea for headlights.. find a cheap stock OEM set, split em open, paint them black, remove the orange reflectors. Then I'll find some cheap projectors and build them into the housing, followed up with some white LEDs on the bottom edge of the housings to replicate Audi A5/S5/R8 headlights. Someone on this site did something similar but used too many blue LEDs and used some of those 2nd or 3rd gen projector housings. It'll be a project but I'm ready to get that done in summer time.
And to add to that, with the LEDs i'd like them to be the auto daytime running lamps and not the main lights - which btw will be 6 or 8K HIDs behind those projectors i'd like to put in.

i dont have have HIDS, but i would assume that they are done with a relay. So the HIDs are plug and play with your factory harness so it shouldnt have anything to do with your daytime running lights.

I want 2nd gens for sure.. CCFL is worth it. I still haven't really heard any confirmation on whether or not the 2nd gen uses H1 or H7 for low beam. I know H1s have issues with burning out. If 2nd gens use H1s for lows, not good, hi beams, not nearly as big of an issue.
