I cant remember where i got the PIAA leds from mate got them quite a while ago, sorry. I cant fit 6000k HID's as i havent got HID's and a HID conversion is quite expensive, i need a uber bright xenon bulb.

Are the MTEC's actually brighter than the Nightbreakers or are they just a crisper colour. The pics show the Osrams as looking brighter but more yellow and th MTEC as just having a lovely white tinge. Can get some of the new Osrams Nightbreakers +90% for £17.19.

Just starting to get the mods in ready :D

Just ordered some MTec side and dipped bulbs from HIDS-Direct, wasnt aware of eBay cheapness when i ordered them but paid under £20 for the lot so i'm not complaining !

Osram Nightbreakers and Philips X-treams are the best bulb to buy. Although I have read on other forums that these high percentage bulbs do not last long. Some people find Nightbreakers last only 3 months! :-o The Philips ones will last longer though. Please remember a tinted bulb (like the PIAAs) will NEVER produce more light than ordinary bulbs, despite the claims.

Now should I mention HIDs in halogen reflectors and Glare and the police. :whistle: (sorry I don't normally read this section)

Wish I never wasted my money on nightbreakers and got these mtecs straight away!

Fitted the mtec sidelights today, they look brilliant but not very bright, i will get some night time pics in min, but in the day you can hardly see that they are on, just got to wait for the mainlights to turn up now
