Default mtec hid replacement bulb? anyone?

So I notice alot of the H11 HID bulbs has different connectors. Where do you guys get your bulbs when it goes out? especially for the mtec kit.

let me know asap, I need to order one since my driver side blew. I only got it a year ago and it already blew..checked my connections , everything seems fine. must be the bulb.

keep in mind there are many fake MTEC kits out there, as is there are many kits with fake hella, phillips ballasts as well. If you happen to buy one of those fake kits then of course the quality will suffer.

Seeing that you only paid $140 for your other HID kit, you probably also paid similar amount for the MTEC kit that you got. If that's the case, then it's probably a fake MTEC kit.

I have the Genuine MTEC kit (all components made in Tokyo, Japan) which sells for $280 on eBay and have not had a problem with it. Comes with full english instructions and all necessary hardware.

When it comes time to replace my 6,000k H11 bulbs, I would probably buy from XD. I looked at the connectors on my MTEC bulbs and they are compatible with those on the XD. Most of the time these are just straight forward male/female connectors.
