he...
now, it's all depends on ur camera...and the environment condition when u took the pictures..
however, judging from the quality that u've uploaded, i'd rather dissapointed with it..
buw WAIT, it's 4350K...while silverstar is 4000K
now, LEMME tell you this....Sylvania Silverstar, EVEN THOUGH it's only 4000K (less blueish), however, there are less blue tint on the bulb..
now, the MTEC....granted, it's 4350K...a bit more blueish kinda like...HOWEVER...it might not have the same brightness/range as silverstar...cos' it has more blue tint on it....
SO, WHADDYA think?
anyway, i bough the "crappy but super cheap and OK" APC bulbs....ONE PAIR for $15 out-of-the-store they are 4000K and has the same blue tint as SilverStar (4000K), however...when i turned em on......they are proven to be even more yellowish than silverstar...and LESS range/brightness....
HENCE i can say...silverstar got a good white color (no blueish) and also a very wide range/brightness....
another thing, the HIGH BEAM on silverstar is freakingly much more brighter and wider and longer than APC.....and maybe any other bulbs ...
hope this helps for people who's still deciding right now...
ANYWAY, i'm actually really curious about MTEC...IS THERE anybody here who got both MTEC and Sylvania Silverstar? can you review both bulbs?
THANX.

Rep Power: 0 I really wanna stress the camera did no justice to the pic the color of the car even changed and i think its in fact because the light was so much brighter let me know if you ever get a comparison on the two bulbs

hm...that's interesting...
but dude....honestly...it does something to the pictures....
for example, my silverstar looks pretty damn yellow with my camera....that's with or without flash...
however, when i took the picture from different angle...BAM, it became freakin' white....
