Mtec V2 Installed
 

Well a couple of weeks ago one of the xoutpost members stumbled upon the mtec v2's and they werea bout 129.99 i was kinda hesitant in getting the AiB cause there 300 but for 129. these seem to be promising. they claim to be whiter and brighter at night than AiB. I have no comparison so currently right now i have day light pics of the lights, later tonight ill post some night pics!

$130 bucks just for the two small LED's is nuts. ( ripoff.)

It doesn't appear to be that much brighter than the OEM halogen bulb. I'm curious to see how long they will last. I bought some from fleabay a couple years back and those only lasted about 6 months with only moderate usage :(

O and one more thing... i was installing these and took my old oem angel eyes out and left it on the hood, next thing i knew the wind blew and the angel eyes fell in!! i dunno where it went... it still in my hood somewhere iv been trying to find it but no luck what so ever! i dun want it to get lodge somewhere =[ so now i have 1 OEM angel eye... and the other somewhere lost in under the hood =/

:dunno: take some pictures from a farther distance Hard to tell when it's that close. Maybe leave one side stock and the other with mtecs for comparison. Supposedly these are brighter than the ibrights.

Ok i tried to take some night pics but i really only have a camera phone so i did my best. and i do like the lights alot. they are bright at night and pretty nice in the day aswell.

i guess i will have to see if i can get some distance pics from a distance toamrrow.

Anyone around that has Aib's and would like to compare? somewhere in queens?

If the highbeam is the old bulb and the outer is the new bulb, then I'd definately say it's brighter. Did you ever find the one you dropped in the engine bay?

There's only 1 bulb per side...so the high and low beam rings are lighted by the same bulb

Really? I've only installed CCFl type bulbs, and have yet to see the inner workings of a facelifted or E70 headlight. I know pics don't do these things justice sometimes, so hopefully that's just something like a bad camera angle.
