Meanwhile, I'm going with the MTecs half a year. Result: You shine like the first day.
However, they also show weaknesses. The illumination is to compare with the top pears Phillips X-Treme Power modest, but you can see traffic signs by the cold light of MTecs rather, since these reflect better.
I must say that I have lens headlights (like the genuine xenon), which scatters generally poor in conjunction with halogen bulbs. But purely for the look is the "likelihood of confusion" with real Xenon high especially at dusk.
A friend of mine has installed the same bulbs in "open" headlights and there the result of illumination and coverage is better, but not particularly well.
It is often said that a ride in the rain would be flying blind, especially at night. I can not confirm. Personally, I see at the site only a slightly lower range, through the reflections of the rain. Blind but looks different.
Conclusion: Who really big emphasizes the look of xenon, is well advised with the pears. In the current stage of development, they are also durable and the quality does not suffer even after a few thousand kilometers. However, since the security should be a top Prorität, I would still recommend more in the case of the Phillips X-Treme. An illumination and range comes as no comparable ran pear. However, one must then also more money for wages.
In addition, have the MTecs (now) a E13 test status, which legalized the use on our roads.
Pro:
- Price / performance ratio
- Durability without loss of quality
- Beautiful White / Blue Xenonlook (especially in lens headlamps)
- Straßenzulasung thanks E13 test status
Cons:
- Illumination comparatively weak
- Reach not the best
I hope therefore to be able to do well!
