Okay I have a question...on fleabay the "super white mtec" 9006 bulbs are selling for $19.99...but the "cosmos blue mtec" 9006 bulbs are selling for $39.99...why would these be twice as much? I'm just curious as to which are better, not which are just more expensive. The super whites have a rating of 4350K and the cosmos blue ones have a rating of 4750K. TX or someone else please chime in...

TX (or anyone else who can answer), I had the Silverstars in my SC initially and liked them a lot better than stock...then I found out about the PIAA "Xtreme White" series and liked those better than the Silverstars. Now here comes the Mtec's. For anyone who has seen or tried these bulbs, what are your opinions of the Mtec's vs. the PIAA's?

From personal experience, the PIAA plasma FX, and Plasma Blue are the best PIAA bulbs I've used, and have used almost all of them. I absolutely HATE the PIAA superwhites... they look like brighter stock bulbs,... the Plasma series bulbs have a multi-color gold coating, and are the closest bulbs I've seen to HID color,.. not the same intensity obviously, but color to the ground is close.
I haven't seen the MTEC bulbs, but I can say right now, with Silverstar 9006's and PIAA plasma H3's, ... you can see a differnce in the "pureness" of output between the two.
I am looking to go HID, so hopefully I will not be worrying about halogens anymore....

My pics. I'm happy with them, although I need to get used to them. It's hard for me to tell if they seem brighter, but when they cross paths with other cars headlights, I can seem to still see my color above theirs.
