I noticed that most Cobalt/G5 owners are rocking the Gen 1,3,4, Black Stockers and Retros but barely anyone has the Gen 2. Why is that?

I think they look good. I would probably disconnect the 3 leds though

 

most people think they look like crap and perform like crap, I can honestly say ive never seen them before and they definitely look better than gen 3's. Id be curious to see output with 4300k's.

 

i might get these and put some two tone eyelids on them

Like this except ill have the Gen 2s

 

the gen2's actually look pretty good in person. all the other ones just dont cut it IMO

 

what do you have riceburner?

 

Like that eyelid style!

 

What are these generation 1,2,3,4 headlights you guys keep talking about?

 

yeah i am going to be making a "how to" when my eyelids come in, i got two pair, one SRTC and the other Carbon Fiber

saweet!

 

People don't buy the headlights because they are junk. Most fail within the first year, save your money and build/buy retros. The Gen headlights use **** lenses that start to create burn spots very early in their life.

 

I have these headlights. I disconnected the light bar on the top. A lot of ppl like them around me. Ive had them for over 4 yrs now. Not a single issue

 

i didnt mind my gen1's but Retros are the way to go my friend!

 

i have Gen2's and dont hate the output. sure its not retro quality but i got them for 50 bucks so meh

 

mmmmm Wretrowz...i Wrove those

so switch out the lenses with my stock one...got it thanks!


thanks

I am trying to do that eyelid thing i posted earlier so i dont know if the retros would look good with it, i want to get something where the headlight projectors angle downwords...hard to explain

 

thats the real issue. retros cost $6-800 easy and you can get genX for $100ish. so if you have your car for say six years and the gens only last x amount of time, theres no way retros are worth it money wise haha. unless you build your own for 3-400 of course

 

I've got these on my sedan and I think they look better than most, now , the aiming , functionality of the low beams is pretty much **** but high beams rock.


Definitely DC the light bar and 3 leds ***** dumb

 

pic?

 

Kinda see them in vid

 

nice^^

 

I think alot of people dont buy these because they are the most expensive out of all the Gens. Every website that I found that sell these, have them marked higher than the others. Cheap A$$ Cobalt owners

 

Gen 4's are by far the best. Besides retros....

 

I had a set with eyelid on them.

 

if you use the hi beams for a good amount of time, the gen x lenses will create nipple like burning on lense.
