M-tec Super White sidelight bulbs
« on: March 15, 2009, 09:50:52 pm »

Why
to get rid of the yellow look standard sidelights give

Sourcing
i got mine through hids-diect ebay shop and there also available direct from hids-direct.  they cost £3.99 plus £2.50 p&p

Fitting
not too bad to fit, the passenger side can be a little tight, took me around 5 mins todo both

Other versions
i think the only bulbs that will look similar will be leds


Plus Points
a cheap quick to do mod thats simple and doesnt require resistors like leds and there should`nt be no temperature issues, and there very similar to the xenons colour

Minus Points
there not quite as bright as leds i think

Summary
these bulbs give off a nice white light with a slight blue tinge and there not too pricey either. im very pleased with the look ive tried the bluevision bulbs before but these look alot better  :happy2:

Can you fit these M-tec side lights if you've got Xenons?

I am not 100% sure on this but be believe there are issue with these bulb's as they aren't 'E' marked so might not be road legal ???

Thanks, Steve - Useful info :happy2:

I'm not going to risk my MOT etc for the sake of such bulbs. I had to read the riot act to get my LED DRL's through my MOT, but that was pig-ignorance on his part until I presented my EU documentation.
