Our record of innovation and our ability to meet the levels of speed and quality required by OEMs have made us the first choice of all major vehicle manufacturers.
what's the mtec website anyways?

From the MTEC website: "Our major business is in OEM and ODM for Japanese companies."
I guess it doesn't really specify their HIDs are used as OEM. But I can find out.
Here's the url http://www.mtec.biz/a.htm

The base mount of the D4S is notched differently than a D2S. I read somewhere that you can modify a D2S bulb to fit a D4S fitment by simply dremelling a couple of notches in the proper areas to make them fit. Alas, I am not ready to try that yet.

So far, what I have read is it is all word of mouth available from EBay, it's cheaper and people like the performance. I'm just trying to find the source why MTEC is so popular. I'm not one for "that's what everyone has, therefore that's what I'll get".
