Are projectors worth it?
I was looking at getting some gen 2 projectors on ebay for liek $200. Are they worth getting or are they not any better than stock headlights. Also do you have to do any wiring with gen 2 projectors?

Beg to differ. The projectors look a LOT better and are great. Some people like them and some don't. That decision is squarely yours.
I really like them, and think they are much better then the stock headlights.

If you plan on HID's then yes they are worth it, other then that I vote no...
I hate my projectors, they are garbage and if I didn't have HID's I would have swapped them out a long time ago for painted black headlights

Gen 2 is Sick! Best looking by far! Cobalt16's look really sick cuz his car is black and the ones he has are black so they look perfect. If I was gunna get em, I'd wanna color match them with my Laser Blue!

First gen is the very first projectors with LEDhalos and the 3 LEDs on top, 2nd Gen is the CCFL set up, and 3rd gen are the newest LEDhalos with the LEDs on the bottom
