Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior i love my new MTECs!

as usual isaac installed them for me and he showed me the diffrences between the stock and the mtec lights. wow, i never knew how crappy the stock lights looked until it was put beside the mtecs. i got them at a good price too but at $65 bucks i would have bought them anyway. my car is black and with the lights it seems to come alive more. the brightness is great..not too bright that it's annoying, it's just right. plus as isaac had said when driving the light doesn't fade out like stock and you actually see more of the road. i don't have the fog lights installed yet but even through my stock fogs and mtech hi/lo beams it looks great!

can't wait to finish the install so it could look like this:

it's another cheap mod that does lots!

where did you pick those up?? is it just a bulb change?

they're at the ecelica store...you get the whole sytem for 65 bucks!

my check comes soon...I need to order sum now.

Yeah, I got the same lighting package from Isaac as well. Great bulbs. The whole car takes on a change with the different lights. I could light up a football stadium with my hi-beams

Thanks CT!!!

i've got the hid lights that came on my 03 celica.. they work quite well
are they any different than the mtecs?

yeah im gonna get me a set of these soon too

How hard are they to install????

better if you take the whole headlights out to prevent touching the glass on the bulb... thats what i did...

it wasn't actually hard to install at all, the only reason i got isaac to do it is that i had never changed bulbs before...but after watching him i could have done it on my own. i was just just out in the parking lot where i work and turned on the lights just to admire them...DAMN! our celicas look so diffrent with them on!

I see the difference, very nice!! One question though. Can I put these on my stock headlights on my 2000 gts or do I need an hid kit? I don't know much about lighting and such. pm or email me or whatever.

NOPE! you don't need an hid kit, just slap the bulbs on and get ready to turn some heads . i suggest getting the whole system for $65 bucks (that's an AWESOME DEAL ). at such a cheap price your car will look totally diffrent

they're at the ecelica store, just pick them up and the staff will take care of ya!

Are these sreet legal in maryland?

I'll ask my gf to buy them for me for my bday if they are...

well, i suggest you do some research about lights in your state. maybe contact dmv? i dunno. go in google and see if you can find it there. sorry man, i don't know.

Yes, they are legal in all United States...
there is absolutely nothing about them that would make these NOT legal.

...This also explanes why Toyota Dealerships sell these exact same lightings for $45 EACH PAIR

what is the difference from the 2003 HID's from the dealership?

one set is HID and the other set are BULBS - read my long post above where it compares MTEC to Factory HID.

mtecs are kool, but i prefer top of line piaa.

last weekend isaac helped me but on the daytime running lights, and turn signals, plusi had the fog lights put in and it looks HOT! i must say a black celica with white lights looks pretty good...damn, i just really love these lights and i get LOTS of looks from people (and i don't even have a body kit ). thanks isaac!

I didn't take out the whole headlight to install my PIAA, it's nto hard. I followed the owner's manual on what to do. And PIAA and MTEC are probably the two best suppliers out there! Both have very bright, effective bulbs to use

Hey, Thats great! I think Ill just move into my car permanetly from now on And I will not even miss my g/f
