those come with HIDS already

 

gen 1's like the OP posted are the best quality light that i have seen. Iv dealt with every aftermarket headlight for cobalts and the gen 1's seem to be the most solid made. although i dont like the look of them with the reflector on top as much as the other ones. Gen 2's i absolutely despise. 3rd gen's are my favorite if u put OEM lenses on. 4th gen's are nice and clean but the lenses are garbage as well. i have a set in my attic that need lenses since they were **** and cracking everywhere.

 

yeah. but i heard they stress crack more if you run with the stock bulbs they come with

i ran stock bulbs in my set for abour 2 seconds and that was when i pluged them in and turned them on to make sure they worked. ive been running hids ever since. and i only have liek 4 or 5 little half inch stress cracks thats it. my friend had them on his car for 2 weeks and his got tornn up baddd

if you want a legit set up with no problems get a set of retro's made up

 

4th are actually really nice, not ricey like the other ones i was gonna get. lol can u put oem lense on the 4th gen, cause id just do that to make them solid.

 

why cant these venders make them decent so they dont break

 

yes you can.

 

who knowsss probally because the parts are cheap to make there fore they can make alot of them at a mass quanitys at a cheap price

but what ever headlight you decide to go with make sure you seal them up with silicone before you install just incase because w.e you get always has the tendency to leak and condensate. a tube of RTV silicone is all you'll need

 

so basically problems solved if u put on oem lenses? or is there other issues?

and can someone link me to 1st,2ed,and 3rd gens? im new to the headlight stuff

 

go with some custom made retro fits, i got a set from a member on here and i have had zero problems with them

 

ya i was thinking that. just by the glass edge or also by where the lights and wireing goes into the housing?

 

seal all around the whole perimeter of the light pretty much the whole shape of the light.

hope im helping you out dude

 

headlights are all the same shape to fit in ur headlight hole so yea all lenses are interchangeable. and the stress cracks are im sure causes by the plastic constantly heating and cooling. Fillament bulbs are much hotter than HID bulbs but none the less even if u get an HID bulb ur still running a fillament running light and those lenses are just garbage. Retros are the best projecters for light, but honestly the cutoff on all projectors aside from the 2nd gen is pretty good. 3rd gen needs a quick modification done from the back of the light to make it great. so get whatever u want and just bake ur headlights and swap lenses on them. seal them up real good and u should never have to worry about them again.

i love the agressive look of the 3rd gen's how the halos flow downward like my eyelid


heres some blacked out 4th gen's for ya

 

nice that actually dont look that bad w the chrome blacked out
i just refuse to open my lights because i dont want them to leak if i dont seal them up fully properly i plan to get retros eventually

 

i just bake em, peel lenses off, do what i gotta do to the light, push lenses on hand tight, put in oven bake, take out of oven push lenses on as tight as theyll possibly go. Then get out the caulking gun and a big tube of silicone and bead it around the outside of the light, get some latex gloves on and push the silicone into the crease with my finger as i run down the light. My personal set seems to be doing pretty well.

 

yeah. i know how the process goes i just dont think i wanna do it.

 

sounds liek your a lazy yankee ya bastard

 

sounds like i dont want to open my lights bc im fine with the way there looking now and your bored and feel like trolling lol
no hard feelings i know your joking.
and if ur not than my coment to you is to make me come out being a dick

 

im planning on getting hid high and low beam so im not worried about filiment heat. do all these lights take the h1 hid bulbs?

i think im gonna get 4th gen if i decide to get them, and get high/low hids, i dont care if the high beam is in a refractor since i wont be using them much.

Now this baking to get the lense off, at what temp for how long?
