mtec H7 halogen bulbs

How are these bulbs compared to stock halogens? I am currentyl looking at super whites and they seem to be a good appearance upgrade but i do not want to downgrade my visibility on the road. I have read that reduced visibility is a problem when trying to upgrade halogen bulbs.

I have installed MTECs into halogen headlights but even though they look better they lose visibility due to the color spectrum of visible light. The only thing brighter would be installing a HID kit but you can run into problems with the flickering and error messages that come with it even though there is an error canceler installed.

yeah, that is what i thought. I wouldn't want to buy an HID kit for that reason. Also, because i don't want to drive with something that is considered illegal and that is dangerous to other drivers.
