Im slowly researching into my mods, and the first one will be some projectors and HID lights

Are these projectors off ebay any good? Do i need to do any other mods to get these to work or is it all plug and play? Also do these projector light still use a 9700 bulb?

Which is the better one? one says its brighter then the other, but also looks like a bit different style.

 

I had problems with the first link you had (1st Gen) so im upgrading to your second link (2nd gen). My halos and l.e.d lights burnt out shortly after i installed them. I hear that the 2nd gens are better so i guess ill find out next week when they come in.

 

ok first ones are out, how about these ones?

Also what kind of bulbs would you recommend to go with these? i personally like a blue tinge to them, i just dont know which kind is a good one to get

 

i ll go with #1

 

id go with 2 thats just cuz i had problems with mine, and blue would look good

 

Ok i have the exact same ones (the 2nd link) the halos and leds are pretty bright...i think the lights look awesome but one of the LED bars already is not working...

 

^these are the ones I'm getting but I plan on cutting the top bars anyways

 

what do you mean cut the top bars?

 

im guessing he means the led light bar across the top. Either way i just want something thats good quality and will last. Not going to pay over $200 for them to break in a short time lol

 

3rd gen FTW!!!!!!!!!!!

u didnt post a link tho

 

where does one find the 3rd gen? on ebay i only seen 2 different types in the black

 

The bulbs used are H1's for most projectors. Some use H8 I believe. I have the first gens, they look nice and can be had cheap used. Only problem is they need to be wired individually, soo they are not plug and play. This is OK as the HIDs have to be wired anyways. Also the halos are not that bright unless its dark out...

When i was reading up on them, they all said direct fit and plug and play, this is not the case?

Thanks for the link CobaltVenom, i like those. What changes did they improve on for the 3rd gen?

 

Go with the 2nd gen. from what I've been told they are the only ones that are truely plug and play...

 

are the halos in the 3rd generations just plug and play or have to be wired like the 1st? Cuz i had the
1st and it was a pain

 

so 2nd gen is plug and play but 3rd isnt? That doesnt make sense to me lol, i can see first gens not being plug and play but if they improved on the 2nd gen and made it easier install why would they change it back for the 3rd gen?

Also can i use regular bulbs with these instead of HID?

 

I believe the 1st and 3rd gens have to be wired separately 2nd gens are plug and play...

unlimited they come with halogen bulbs

 

what excaly has to be wired? the HID? or the LED?

 

ok sounds good thanks taz

 

Ok so i can just use them as is when they come in and then i would have to rewire to use HID

 

yea the first gen u have to cut n splice wires to hook the projectors up. and the HID for them are H1. i love my halos. they look tight wit the HIDs.

 

it's only us who call "gens" don't get confused..

they're not all made by the same company so V3 isn't better than V2

in fact it lacks CCFL technology and the plug and play capability.

 

yea, I ordered "3rd gens" that are completely plug and play, no wiring bullshit involved

 

3rd gens aren't plug and play, 2nd gens are.
