MTEC H4 Light Bulbs

Just received mine.

Won the auction on ebay for $3.50 (+ $9 shipping)

I just wanted to say that they are AS GOOD, if not better, than PIAA's.

link to ebay seller

(He doesn't reply to emails, but don't worry...he will ship the product)

I currently have the PIAA's Super Plasma GT, but they are a little purple. I just wanted hyper whites again...I wanna be a ricer!

I'd stick with the GT's instead of the MTec's..... but that's just me. i like the purple look, looks more like true HID, instead of the blue look

Mex, was curious as to what 194 bulbs you are using there too.. I feel like a dumbass blowin money on the PIAA wedge bulbs and stuff cuz they dont even macth. but your 194 bulb and headlight bulbs match really well.

right now I'm using PIAA super white 194 bulbs. the extreme white 194 bulb is supposed to be even whiter, so i'm surprised they match my 4350k headlights so well.

just got these bulbs yesterday and tried them out.
and the funny thing is i did not get any of the similar results that is shown on the photos that's been posted up here.
instead, it looks more stock and one side is actually somewhat yellow-white and the other is pretty much yellow.

why is that?! did i get a defected bulb or something?

They have some on ebay for CHEAP(w/colored brackets)...but would the bracket color effect the light output somehow??

however, you can remove the bracket [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

i'm using stock harness. No damage at all.

MTEC's are 60/55w
Same as stock...so it shouldn't damage ur harness at all.

No, the bracket does not affect color. At night, if you look STRAIGHT into the (on) headlight, you might see a little red dot shining.

During day time, i'm guessing it shines red and blue?? No idea... good question.

My blue ones shined light blue

Was there enough bulb grease? Cuz the store I just got my mtecs told me to make sure that there's enough bulb grease so it wont fry down the harness do to the heat.
