are Mtec bulbs any good?

i have a 2k1 and want some new headlight and foglight bulbs. i hear a lot of talk about the PIAAs for our maximas and how they are close to HIDS. the problem is i think for $50/pair of bulbs... id rather go with something a bit cheaper. This brings me to question all those who have had any experience with Mtec bulbs... quality, life, wattage, reliability, etc. i appreciate all responses and thank you ahead of time.

i was thinking about mtec as well.. but the wattage on the 4x is 100/90, i assume it will burn the wiring harness? not sure, because it says it wont..... but i bought koba bulbs, some "german" company off ebay and it looks alrite. blu-ish tint..... not really HID look, but if ur looking for cheap bulbs w/ a blue tint, get koba's. $13 shipped from ebay. (after having it for couple of months, the color seemed to have faded a little.)
