How much whiter are the Mtec bulbs than OEM? I looked at the OEMs and thought they were pretty white already. I'm debating to see if its worth the investment. Time, money, figuring out how to access the bulbs and fogs... etc...

I just instealled the Mtec 4350K bulbs today for my low beams... MUCH better. whiter and better looking than the Stocks.
As for brightness I do think the Stocks were a little brighter... I'm not sure if its because of the higher Kelvin color temperature or if the Mtecs are just not as bright. Reguardless its bright enough... its fine and is whiter. So those that dont want to spend $70 for PIAAs I think the Mtec's have my vote so far.
I do wonder if the PIAAs are brighter or not... *shrugs*

the Hyper Whites by luminics look fantastic, however, they melted the sockets of the wiring harness of my last car (scion tC). i'm kinda afraid to use them now. i know luminics sells upgraded harnesses, but i didn't see any listed for thier H11 bulbs. i emailed them asking about it a few weeks ago, but they never responded. has anyone here ever had problems with luminics? BTW, they also have a new color called Titanium White. Would love to see what they look like installed.

Thats what I'm afraid of too. The bulbs drawing too much current and melting the harness.
I asked a few times here if that would be too much for the harness and no one responded with an answer.
Can someone with either Mtec or Luminics bulbs installed for a while go check their wires and see if they're still ok.
I'll keep and eye out for mine.
