MTEC HIDs
Does anyone know why many IS owners buy MTEC HIDs? There are other Japanese HID brands, but what is so special about MTECs? I've read posts from people who installed them. Is this one of the best HIDs in Japan?

Just got an e-mail from someone at MTEC. The HID kits are made in Taiwan. Now, I'm not going to knock it because it is made in Taiwan (just like other cheap products) because I read many good reviews from people who have them on their 2IS and other cars. I realize cars in Japan use them as OEM part. I just don't like false advertisements, such as "This product is made in Japan" or "Authentic Japan".... when it's not. People will do anything to make a buck. But I will let it's performance speak for itself rather than where it is made. Just my 2 cents.

It is going to be hard for you to find some HID that made in Japan these day, most of them are made in Taiwan now. Maybe "Catz" are still made in Japan, but it's going to be quite expensive.

They all feel secure that they paid something expensive and that everyone is using.
They are all the same aftermarket KIT.
As long as you get a 1year warranty you'll be fine.
go to ebay or PM i'll give you a number to call the guy is in elmonte.
I Had there HID different cars and the longest one i had was 2years never had a single problem.
goodluck

Hey guys, I just received and installed my Xtec HID's for my foglights today. They only cost $254 shipped by FedEx and they have a LIFETIME warranty (they are actually on sale until the end of this month I think, I've seen them on other websites for $350+). So if you guys are looking for something cheap and good THIS IS IT!!
The only bad thing now is that even though I bought the 4500K (pure white) kit to "match" my OEM HIDs, the headlight HIDs now look like freakin' regular lightbulbs I guess I'm going to have to buy a set of 6000K bulbs to make it look better.
They also have a cheaper "lifetime" warranty kit called "Apexcone" for $200 shipped
Oh, I forgot to mention that both kits feature have the ballast and ignitor integrated into one box and you don't even have to hook up wires to the battery, which makes it the easiest HID kit I've ever installed!!!
Here's the link that will give you the special price:
