Aftermarket Headlight assembly questions

OK first of all is there a non ricey black projector housing that doesn't have all the useless halos and LED's?

Seriously all I need and want is a black housing a projector and a turn signal. I don't have the time to make it myself which is why I just wanted to buy it. But all of them seem to be ricey as hell. Isn't there anyone who follows the K.I.S.S principle?

With that said if there's anyone with a victory red cobalt that can post up pics of their setups that would be great. Also does anyone know what bulbs sizes most of those ricey setups use? (incase I can find a non ricey one)


thanks

get a set of the first gens without the leds/halos connected, along with the eyelid. looks pretty clean and probably the least crazy of the 3 if thats what your looking for

^I dont know, im just not a fan of that big chrome reflector on the Gen 1's, id go with the Gen 3's that 3B Spec is selling with the nice cutoff line. They just seem like a pretty good deal. unplug the LED's and Halos and i think you got yourself a nice set of lights. but im a ricer so id take the LED's and halos lol

The 2nd Generation CCFL halo ones are the most conservative IMO. You can either disconnect the halos/leds on those (Or just get "lucky" and have the CCFL inverter in them burn out fast).

Eylids would render the signals useless in the first gens...

You need something with the signal on the side of the housing like the 2nd or 3rd gens.

I think I might most likely go for I guess its the gen 3 with an eye lid on it. Just dont like the looks of the 2 earlier gens as much.
