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.
the guy who sells them on ebay is a pain to deal with......
Yeah, it is annoying it says made in japan on his listing, but on the kit it says made in taiwan, again i agree its not a big deal, but it is misleading.
overall they are ok, but the harness are pretty flimbsy
actually i have a couple of kits that say made in japan..... i believe that the new kits are manufactured in both taiwan and china. but other than that i believe that they are good kits.
