Alright, so I think I'm going to get some projectors but I can't decide which ones to go with...

I initially liked the 3rd Gens the best, although lately I've been having trouble deciding between 3rd and 2nd gens. I'd definitely get them in black, since my car is black.
The main thing I don't like about the 2nd Gens is the little eyebrow light. I think it looks kind of out of place. I know I could just not hook it up, but I'd prefer if it just wasn't there.

What do you guys think?

neither, retros or Gen1. Of the 2 choices.....Gen2 wothout the halos and light bar.

oowah

Really? What is it you like about better about the 1st gens? I don't like the large chrome reflector on the 1st gens... although now that I look at them again I suppose the 3rd gens have a chrome reflector as well.

I guess I'm leaning toward 2nd gens, but I don't really want to have to crack open the case to take out the light-bar dealy.

Well, if it means anything, I hear that the light bar burns out very quickly on pretty much everybody's, so it's not like it will be lit up for long.

I was leaning towards the Gen3s because for some reason the Gen2s look wierd to me head-on. I like the fact that they're CCFL vs LED halos though... much brighter. I'm a fan of the black retros too.

oowah

Haha, well that's good to know.

I guess I could just go the old fashioned route and look at some in person and decide for myself, although I'd still like to hear peoples' opinions

The reflector can be taken out with ease and there is even a how to on here. I like my 3rd gens but the 3 lil leds I could do without

Stamina

If you're planning on doing an HID kit eventually on them, check out 3bspec's 3rd Gens. They do the cutoff to every headlight unit they sell, so if you don't get the HID setup through them (or anywhere else), then you'd still be able to use them if you decide to do that in the future.

There are several threads about their kit if you search for it. Many pics and reviews too.

Personally I like Gen2's on black... Hope this will help...

oowah

yeah those look pretty solid. That helps seeing it on a black car too.... I like how the halos are bigger on the 2nd gens when they're lit up

Stamina

Are those the stock fog light bulbs?^^

I like how the color kinda goes with the halos.

^ 6000K Fogs and Headlights (Off in pic). (Kinda a washed out pic, best one I could find sorry)

ssyellow

I will go try and get a pic in the dark now (need one) of my lights . I have a feeling the pic will come out bad though lol

oowah

Yeah I like those too. 6000k is the way to go.

Stamina

Make sure to steady/set the camera on something since that slower shutter speed will make it look blurry really easily...

Sadly, I know from experience...

ssyellow

o didnt think about that. lol and I was getting attacked by bugs will have em uploaded in 1 sec

it takes forever to find these things on my damn computer!! heres one I lost the others

Jbowman62

i want to get some for my 09 also

1st were do i get them at?

2nd what all do i need

ssyellow

there is a vendor on here selling the 3rd gens leme find for you

unless you want the 2nd gens I have no clue where to find those..ebay?

oowah

3bspec sells them on here, ebay has ones although I think the quality is questionable sometimes...
You'll also need an HID kit (HID bulb for low beams, you can reuse your halogens for the high beam, and then you need a ballast for each low beam, and a harness to connect it to your car/battery)

Thanks man. That looks good too.
Dayum. This is a tough choice.

ssyellow

thanks, I think they would looks sooo much better with out the 3 leds

konartis91

how can i get a good pic of my halos at night without being a big ball of light in the picture?

oowah

What's their function? Turn signal?

The other guys obviously would know better than I do, but I would guess get at a bit of an angle to the car, and use a flash... i dunno *shrug*

silver06cobalt

just for looks.. dont think they have a function

ssyellow

um I don't know I will have to check that out, I don't think they are turn signal...leme check for you lol.

I don't know also I used flash for some and no flash for others and it works fine. if you are doing it head on that might be your prob, try to do off to the side or above the cut off line.

EDIT- looks only, its funny because it would look better with out it.......

oowah

Haha ironic. I read once that 3bSpec can remove the leds and fill the holes for a bit extra, but I'm not sure how much more.
I'll likely go with a Canadian supplier though so that I don't get raped by customs/shipping charges.

ssyellow

o damn your Canada I did not see that lol. good luck I will go to bed now because I got to get up early tomorrow
