I have never ordered from them, I just know they carry MTEC.

 

That's where I purchased mine last year.....Had them in two or three days.....

 

Cool, thanks - but that site seems to be down...

 

Are you dead set on the MTEC’s??? They are kind of hard to find outside of eBay. Here are some links to other sites I’ve found with different brands of H4 bulbs. None of them carry MTEC’s but they do have a pretty decent selection. I have ordered from Option’s Auto Salon several times with great results. I have not ordered from the other two sites so I cannot comment on their reliability.

Thanks, Skeleton, for all the links. I was leaning towards the MTECs becasue they get such good reviews in terms of their color match to the stock HIDs. I'd love to buy Alan's 6000K dual HID setup, but I have to watch what I'm spending on mods...

If there are other good matches, I'll certainly check them out, but I don't remember coming across in my searches any other brand that got the praise the MTECs did. I might just have to trust ebay on this one, but I will check out all those links.

 

Those MTEC's are nice. I have a question though. I just got G35 sedan and noticed that even if I have my fogs off there is maybe a 5 watt bulb inside that remain on. Do you guys just pull them out try to match them also? What is the best inexpensive H4 lights to match the HID's and what temp should I shoot for in terms to match the factory HID's for any bulb.

 

That small bulb you are referring to is the clearance light. It’s a five watt 168 bulb. You will definitely want to replace those as well. The clearance light is the only bulb lit in your headlight housing when your parking lights are on. Replace the dingy yellow clearance bulb with a super white or slightly blue bulb for a nice effect. Below is a comparison pic of my sedan with PIAA Xtreme White bulb installed.

As far as the H4 bulb goes, an inexpensive option would be the MTEC’s. They are much less expensive then the PIAA’s. Color temp should be somewhere in the range of 4200k – 5000k. The MTEC Racing Halogen is rated at 4350k.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions on YELLOW fog lights? The only brands that I can seem to find are POLARG and PIAA.

PIAA H4 Ion Yellow Bulb $100.00

POLARG Pure Yellow Series $60.00

Both can be purchased at Autodynamic.com

Anyone have pictures to display with this setup?

headlamp (stock beam)
fog light (aftermarket yellow - one of the above)
clearance light (POLARG/PIAA - amber bulb)

??? Please help ???

I put some Yellow bulb covers, great look, stock h4 should last long, and they were cheap.

 

Wow! That's nice RST!!! I have two questions: Is this bulb cover plastic or rubber or some other material that does not melt? & Did you notice if the cover dimmed the fog lights a little or not? Once again....that setup looks nice!!!

 

I believe its colored glass. i also tried some blue covers which i crack when i installed these and then noticed they were glass so i assume these are glass too, and no it didnt dim at all to me,

MTEC bulbs are super white colored bulbs based at 4,350K. An HID is around 5,000K. These bulbs are the next closest item towards an HID lighting system.
