MTEC and PIAA Lights installed PICS

over the holiday i finally got around to putting in my new lights. i changed the corner and clearance to PIAA SuperPlasma #19170. the fog lights were also changed to MTEC H4 SuperWhite and look soooo much better. the yellowish look to the lights is completely gone. and in the fog lights, when they're not turned on, you can see a blue reflection in the housing which looks pretty good i think. here are some pics..

before the switch..


..and after




i have a few more pics as well over here


enjoy the new look if you're going for it, i highly recommend it. i wanna thank redwillow who first had pics (a long time ago) with the MTEC's and i've wanted them ever since. the total cost of this was about $22 for 4 PIAA bulbs and about $26 for the MTEC fogs.

That looks pretty good. Can you post a picture of the blue reflection in the housing?

If you look close, you should be able to see
the bluish tint in the fog housing.....

A shot head on with the fogs on....



One more shot from the side......
I'm Very happy with the look of these lights.

When you changed over the fogs to HID's, Did you loose the "high beam" capabilities?......
Do you have any pics of your setup?

I like the look of this setup but not sure of the cost......

i got my piaa's from here.. import performance warehouse

they were really cheap, $10.87 for a pair plus a couple bucks shipping and arrived surprisingly fast, only a few days

with the mtecs, i didn't lose any high beam capabilities. they still turn on and look quite nice in my opinion. the white is just so much better than that ugly yellow and i really think it helps with visability a lot more.

GRT8G35 - where are you in central jersey? i live in eb..

Ha ha....I purchased my Piaa's from the same place.....My MTEC's were purchased from autospeedy.com.... Overall, I am quite happy with the results....but I'm getting the urge to change over to 6000-8000 HID's and maybe going with the 6000 HID fog/High set up that Alan on the forum installed......look here

I reside in OB, I am a little bit older than most on the forum however I will keep an eye open for you....your car looks nice...
