MTEC H8 9W v2.0 CREE LED Angel Eyes

sylonien · 04-05-2013, 08:12 PM

After trying to accept the OEM ones, trying MTEC Cosmos Blue, Diamond White (both still yellow and less light output than OEM). I went with Xenon Kit, looked brilliant at 6000k but flickered and the cost was around £100 (which I returned).

Can't quite justify LUX price, so went with MTEC CREE LED instead! New for e92. £130!

But after installing, I couldn't be happier. No cable mess and actually brighter than stock. Fully lit inner / outter ring compared to stock and nice white/blue. Matches stock xenon lights colour temperature.

Definitely visible in daylight and no question at night - really striking.

Some angles its still bit funny, but bottom line is, it's brighter and much more defined (especially the outer ring then the halogen, very surprised by that!)

(There are few on ebay but somehow can't put my trust in them. Not that these wouldn't develop fault but I just didn't feel comfortable putting the ebay ones in my car.)

Which ones have you got?

Huge improvement over the standard lights. I'm looking to upgrade mine soon but can't justify some of the crazy prices that people are asking..

How do they work then? Sorry if that's a stupid question, pick my E92 coupe up on Saturday and much prefer the blue look of the rings to the yellowish tinge!

£110?

I paid £60 for mine - 20w CREE H8 - and they are just as bright mate. I bought mine off eBay too! They are identical to those but the actual components look much more sexier

For that sort of money you may as well spend a little more and get the real deal! LED ANGEL EYES FTW!

Really? Well the shutter speed / aperature / iso affects the image a lot? I tried different settings, but I want to show the rings so its actually brighter than it is. Looks extremely nice real life.

Just don't feel safe with ebay and not knowing who makes them. I've used many MTEC products before and they seem quality

I know, so is my £700 phone.
Some stuff Made in China are still better than other china products.

Not saying yours isn't good, but its just my own fear or just a sucker for a higher price.
