Only Diff is that Xenon Depot is more expensive and of course
better quality(reliable) but I am very much satisfied with my MTEC Kit

Good luck with your purchase!

no, the xenondepot kits use Phillips bulbs and ballasts whereas MTEC uses their own bulbs and ballasts.

Hello,

Our Xtreme kits use Japanese bulbs and ballasts and are priced at $224.99

The ballasts used in this product are uniquely designed for aftermarket applications as they are completely epoxy sealed to protect against harsh weather conditions. In aftermarket applications, ballasts are often mounted outside the headlight leaving them susceptible to water damage. The Xtreme ballasts are specifically designed for these applications.

A fused relay harness will be included in this kit that will power the ballasts directly from the battery.

If you have any questions please send me a PM or email me at info@xenondepot.com

Regards,

Steve
