Rookieofsalt · 01/08/2017, 10:40 PM

Greetings reefers.

I am looking to buy couple used Radion pro

How can I seperate or tell the difference of gen 3 pro vs gen 4 pro?

Xr15 gen 3 pro vs. Xr15 gen 4 pro

Thank you all!

I believe the power adapter "box" for the gen 4 is much slimmer than the gen 3. I would judge it by that for online listings. Double check on their website though don't want to steer you wrong

The light cluster layout is different too.

On my gen 3s the lense is smooth and on the gen 4s that I've seen each LED is a protruding dome

You can get the Gen 3 Pro for a LOT cheaper than a new G4. That's perhaps the biggest difference! :0)

True but if buying used some shady loser might sell a G3 and pretend it is a G4. Creeps are few and far between but still out there unfortunately

Indeed... but you should be able to find some on your local forum where you can see them before buying them. Anyway, just a thought.

The gen 4 housing is completely different on xr30 and xr 15, the lense covers are also very different
