MTEC super white H3 fogs Vs stock

Just thought I'd post this pic as there many Fog light threads around of people looking for something that matches the HID's. I've got to say this pic doesn't really do them justice at all, but I've got to say for $19.99 these things are very close to the white I was looking for. MTEC super white (installed on drivers side)from automotivelightingusa.




This difference is much greater in real life and for the money they are an affordable solution.





Here's their ebay link:

I also threw in some 9LED per 194 bulbs in my sidemarkers and parking lights, from:

Update:
Here's a nightshot:

They are definetely more close to the HID white than they appear in the pics.

I'm really happy with the overall outcome

it does look considerably better than stock. you think later you can post some night shots to show how well they match the HIDs? im looking for a cheaper alternative than using PIAA Xtreme whites which seem to go out too fast.

also, u have the MT lip, were the fogs easy to get out with the lip in the way? i have been worried about that for a while.

My fog lights burn out every 3 months now. It's terrible. No matter what brand I buy, they never last long. I dunno' if it's something with the car or what. Once I get a job again, I'll be investing in HID fogs.

Yeah I'll try take some night shots. With the MT lip the fogs are easy to get out, but require a combination of pulling down on the lip and some extra persuasion to get them to go in.
