Vestec HID-X
It may be a bit yellowish looking at the car, but it shines the road a pure white. Thats why I liked it so much.

I got MTECs in my projectors. They're cheap and I got life-time warranty on them, you can't go wrong.

what is the wattage on our bulbs? I see alot of bulbs from both PIAA and MTEC, but want to know now what watt to get them. Obviously they are 12V. and the H4 are better than the H3, but don't know which ones to get as far as wattage. So instead of asking every other possible way...
Whats the wattage?!

I heard that you should use 55 - 65 watt bulbs. Using too much could burn. Only what I have heard so that could be wrong.

I have used a couple of different brands and I like the apc H4 100/130w they havent melted my wires and I have always used that wattage.. Pretty much anything with xenon gas is good. They are really bright and make a huge difference........

DONT USE ANYTHING BUT 60/55 or 55/60 If you do you will COOK YOUR ELEC. SYSTEM. I know people who have and you dont even want to know what it costs to fix it. BE SAFE AND JUST USE either 60/55 watts or 55/60 watt bulbs ONLY!!!
