Viral · 08-29-2006, 12:36 PM

how hard/easy was the install? Did you do it yourself?

Also, where did you order everything from and how much?

BmWr1d3h · 08-29-2006, 01:14 PM

The installation was pretty easy for the fogs, for the angel eyes I had to take the front tire off, but still didn't take much time. I got the Piaa from car-gym.com (which costed me $220, faster shipping) and got the Mtecs from ebay wich costed me $47 with shipping.

SES_D · 08-29-2006, 02:44 PM

are those XENESIS foglights?

Viral · 08-29-2006, 03:09 PM

do the Mtec's match closely with the PIAAs?? Also, why did you need to remove the front wheel for the PIAA install?

BmWr1d3h · 08-29-2006, 03:54 PM

Yea Mtecs match very good, I took off the front wheel because I needed to take the plastic out and also it's way easier with the wheel off.

No, they are Mtecs 4,950K H11 bulbs.

darkcloud · 08-29-2006, 04:07 PM

is it me or did you way over pay? I'm looking on ebay now and I see a set of mtec fog bulbs for buy-it-now at $24.95 with $8 shipping....

also are you sure there not 4350k? I cant find any 4950K....

I'm not trying to bust your balls. I wanna get these but I don't want to order some messed up $28 ones.

My bad they are 4,750 bulbs but still the ones you saw I don't think are 4,750K bulbs, the 4,750 bulbs are $39.99 with $8 shipping.
