I'm a CF and poop smith
piaa is crap next to Mtec. even the 80 watt bumbs look orange next to the mtec's. Mtec does run at about 110-130 watts which are suppose to look like 150-170 but who cares, they are very bright. BTW: My brother has been running them for over a year and 1/2 with no burnt wires or anything. Their just freaken bright. I can spot him about a 1/4-1/2 mile behind me when we drive at night cuz his lights so bright!!! HID is still brighter then Mtec though (No incadecent bulb I have ever seen even came close to what HID puts out). Ya gotta pay to play (although HID is not about 300 bucks only so its not that bad anymore. There are some kits that are still $600+ though; Shop around)

For me personally, I'm not going to invest in an HID kit anytime soon. I'm happy with my current lights, they're bright enough for me as is.
Maybe when I turn 35 or something and my eyes start to go.
(Just kidding for all you 35'ers..hehehe)
The real reason is I plan on getting a new lighting kit, and I haven't figured out what I want yet..so it would make no sense.

In researching headlight alignment I found a nice site that
discusses technical aspects of auto headlights.

Their information on headlight alignment is here

Actually, muzik, I'd have to rip them out to find out. They were in the car when I bought it. Whatever they are..I'm going to buy more of them when they finally go.
They're really nice, and give off a nice blue tint, also...not ricer color..but more like a bluish-white color.

Is this the bulbs your talking about? They are fairly cheap as well if this is them.

Not really..I bought mine at a local tuner shop.
BUT..they're all over the net for sale. Go do a search on google, and you'll get tons of links to them.
Also, I paid $25 bucks for my set...see if you can find a price that's comparable.
