MTEC high intensity bulbs

I know there have been some posts on the subject of "super white" or blue bulbs, HID types, and how cheap ones explode. Seems like the PIAA are really expensive and may be worth it but an alternative might be the MTEC model. I know someone who put these in his Odyssey and they look really cool. Just like a lexus or beemer. He's had them for 9 months so no explosion problem so far. The Odyssey uses the same bulb as my civic coupe and I just grabbed two more pair on ebay for $25 each. Very nice. Hard to find the MTECs anywhere so I thought I'd bring it up. Same guy has an ongoing auction if interested.

oh, cool. I saw them a few weeks ago, but i thought "oh... these are just another cheap imitation light bulbs.. they are trying to rip me off on ebay!!" All right, i might be getting these soon....

My Nokya Artic White headlight blew out (the right one, about 360 hours of night time driving) so i'm riding with 1 hyperwhite & 1 stock headlight...haha. Pics later.
