nice, but just to let you know, there are two type of mtec bulbs, for the price you paid, you should get the 4 times brighter, as you can see on the box. but for my own opinion, mtec is a good choice, but the price is a little bit too much, you can get it cheaper from ebay.

just MAKE SURE you get the right wattage for our cars (60/55 watts). i got my MTECs back when there was a company selling it for REALLY cheap (2.99 + 9 shipping) on ebay, but the dumba**es sent me 100/90 watts. i'm not gonna risk it, so they're just gathering dust in a drawer . btw, the MTECs i got aren't street legal, so i don't think what you get will be.

Description:

The white light is highly closed to sunlight. Extra long life. Simple fabrication. Newest generation xenon bulb last longer and brighter.

No need for extra wire upon unit replacement. No modification required. 5-10 minutes easy installation.

Suitable for car examination.100% street legal, brand new.

Xenon Gas Filled- These are not the ion bulbs that produce a rainbow effect or the cheap blue spray painted bulbs that blow up! Xenon gas is filled to allow the halogen process to produce a higher white (4,350k) light output."



Best part... It consumes 60/55W --> and produces 130/110W (4,350K) HYPA WHITE

(Srry Its 12:24AM, and this was my frist time using E-Bay ~ So much cheaper)

u know those pictures lie? U won't get that bright of an output for sure. You'll get white, but nothing dramatic like u see in the picture.

god damn gimmicks...

Did you know that it takes up to something like 10,000Volts to ignite the xenon gas in HID's... and there's no way that a 12Volt system could do that "to allow the halogen process to produce a higher white"... god damn ***-clowns....

Put it this way... those MTec's are gonna be blue, and the light output won't be as good as stock.. the light may be "whiter" but they won't be brighter...

That's why I got REAL HID's
