pics of gen2 and gen3 headlights?................

i cant figure out which ones i want, ppl say that the 3 led on the gen2's burn out easily and are hard to replace, and they have a horrible cut-off but i like the way they look better then the gen3's. The gen3's are still nice and you can replace the 3 leds on them easily(correct me if im wrong) and the cut-off on them is alot better then the gen2's. CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG ON ANY OF THIS PLEASE. I dont know which ones to get i need to see some pics, can someone help me out, and no i dont want retros lol

i bought and install DEPO Gen 4's (black) on my black SSTC. Very happy with them, they have a 'stock' look yet they're projector HIDs. I'm using 6000k HIDs in them.

PICS!

Honestly bro, get what you like, I would NOT consider halo's rice. Ummm Camaro V6/RS and SS/RS have halo's as do many BMW's. I think halos as well as what I have are both stylish looks. The Gen 4 DEPO's are plug and play, took me like 2 hours with 2 of my buddies to install them (first time ever installing projector HID's in any car delayed us a bit). They're high quality parts and IMO reasonably priced.

Here's a link on ebay from a top rated seller to purchase them (and they provide up close pictures of the headlights) 05-09 CHEVY COBALT BLACK PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS PAIR NEW - eBay (item 310288238469 end time Feb-13-11 17:23:54 PST)

I don't know anything about the gen 2s or 3s, but you could jus get the gen 4s(depos) an put some ccfl halos on em..
THAT would look sexy as shiiiiiiiit an its easy, jus tap em in withyour parking lights.

That would require taking the headlights apart to put in the halos, not as easy as one would think since the gen4s don't have halos or LEDs in them.
