Ive got MTEC halogens and the light output is terrible, i had to use my high beam 90% of the time. Im actually not going to drive in the dark until my hids arrive  :scared: and first i tried doing it with the bumper off halfway but you will save yourself alot of time if you just take the whole thing off which i ended up doing :happy2:

Ive bought some 35w 6k ones of hids direct. I havent fitted them yet but will update you with the details. Mtecs do look nice but they're just not suitable for projector lights. HIDS are easy to fit you just need to wire it up and find a suitable place to put the ballasts which in our case would be the bottom of our headlights.
