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)
