Bixenons?
MTEC HID KIT 4?



Is that any good?

If not, what is?

Plan to put this in C280, anyone used it?

ur talking about Xenon light, not Bi-xenon.

i think majority of the HID kit aftermarket now are pretty good, just that u have to see the actual colour when they output is ur primary concern. Cuz some of the HID 8000k light are more blue than others.

Well, they sell a great kit. They don't manufacture them.

if you search, there have been a few who have not been satisfied, or able to
get satisfaction from Carlabs. so just be aware it's not an 'everyone' situation.

u better find a kit that doesn't require programming to make it work. i think the one from Carlab are Programming-free, so ur saving urself harzard time trying to find stealership to do proramming for you, IF they do program for you, u still have to pay them $$ for it, so i'd recommend carlab as i remember they don't require programming.

Well good, quick question for you. Would you rather have the HID's on the
'05 clear headlights? I imagine it would probably look better and maybe even better results?

Kit works great! Got it about 2 weeks ago. No error msg, plug and play, but correct it isn't bi-xenon. Very nice kit IMHO. Just my 2 cents.

i don't have 05 headlight yet but soon i will...

i still have forsty light and the HID spread out like hell and it could blind da **** out of people. Yesterday i was driving home, a car keep on flashing High beam at me and i flash him back, i guess he thought i have high beam at him...

and one time i was driving on freeway, i had two to three car lengh(not tailgating) in front of the 80's pick up truck, he show me the finger....

so i guess with 05' light with HID it won't spread out as much and a bit brighter
