MTec bulbs Canada

Anyone know where I could buy MTec bulbs in Canada? I live in Southern Ontario? I want to change the angels and fogs.

Thanks.

Below is the link to the guy I bought my bulbs from. The angel eyes are H8 and the fogs are H11. I got the cosmo blue bulbs and the only thing I have noticed is during the day it is not as visible. I think this is mostly because the cosmo blue falls into the same spectrum as daylight.

I'm not familiar with bulbs but a lot of people in this forum installed MTEC bulbs. Can somebody please tell me what the motivation is? I'm assuming it's just because the light color appears cooler or bluer?

For me it was to have the colour of the angel eyes and fog lights to more closely match the colour of the HID. So in short, colour.

I went with Cosmo Blue for both H8 and H11 bulbs.
