i would get clear headlights or projectors, and go with Carlab's kit because of ballast size.

Yep I know.. I am still looking for a good deal OEM clear headlights. However, I bought the mtec already but I am just curios which one is better compared to tht carlab's HID (in terms of light quality).

if you already bought Mtec, keep it.

light quality is about the same, maybe even better.

I bought it yesterday and it should arrive on Tuesday. I wish I had the money when you were trying to sell your clear headlights.
