Default My installation of MTEC 4750K Cosmo Blues Halogen

I ordered these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWN%3AIT

I was considering getting the 4370K, but I read a thread saying the 4750K is a better improvement. I had Sylvania SilverStars H4/9003s on, but it was only a little bit whiter then OEM, and only a tad brighter. I hoped that these MTECs would be a bit bluer or whiter.

This is on my 1997 Toyota Camry LE V6, which uses H4/9003 halogen bulbs, a dual filiment for high/low beams.
See for yourself:

Left is the Silverstars, right is the MTECs:





Both sides are MTEC 4750Ks
Low beam:

High beam:


A great improvement for H4/9003 halogens. These draw the same amount of power as the stock bulbs, 55W I believe. They look a bit blue when staring directly into it, the camera can't really capture that well. But shining on the garage is noticeable better then the Silverstars.

Edit: Oh, the first picture with the Silverstars and MTECs, the headlights weren't aligned, so I fixed them when I installed both MTECs.

Nice job detailing your experience with the MTEC and Sylvania bulbs on your Camry. I am considering upgrading the stock low beams in my wife's '98 Corolla, and they use the same bulb type, 9003. I agree that it's hard to capture the true color of the lighting by camera, but it sounds like you are more than satisfied with the outcome of the MTEC bulbs. I'll have to add that to my "browsing" list as I shop around
