damn...thats a big ass difference...

i'm surprised its a 8500K wouldn't it had a shade of blue or green?

nice..where did you buy it from??

well yeah they said 8500K on the box but im like because on the site it says 6000k which is still higher than Mtec, I hope nothing melts but they covered that on the FAQ's on the website.. As for the blue I will know at night time , or when I look into the bulb directly, couldnt in my garage lol


oh oops, I forgot the website


http://www.eurodezigns.com/ hey if you guys do order, mention everythingcelica.com , so if Isaac ever deals these they will hook him up with a great price... but like I said, as for quality wise, only time will tell and yeah Ill be the guinnepig (SP)

I just noticed this but if you look around
he edges of the light, you can actually see some blue hue but then again I no nothing about this so someone edjumacate me

look at pic 1-3..u can see some blueish tint around the endge..that's all..

wow, its looks to be a lot bright and whiter than the mtecs

dude I love mtecs but I hesitated to say the same thing but its obvious.. it makes the Mtecs look like stock bulbs

I agree - much better than the MTECs

i was getting sick of my piaa extreme force and looking for another set. thanks, those are nice...

Good luck seeing in the rain.

They LOOK much better than MTECS. Are they blue-glass bulbs?

BTW... I'm a bit worried because of how bright they are. If they are higher than stock wattage, you're running a huge risk of frying something. I've looked up MTECs before, and they run stock wattage (55 for lows, if I recall).

I'm sooo tempted to buy a set right now though.

Well, the site says 55 watts for the H7 bulb.

Hell, I'll try it out too. Gonna order them tonight.

MTEC are 4,350K (WHITE)

EuroDezigns are 8500K (BLUE/PURPLE)


You'll get a lot of blue or even purple as soon as they get a few hours to 'burn-in'

i think its time i switched out my 3yr old piaa's

i think imma order some too. i gota re-adjust my lights...that's not gona be fun

will it melt the harness?

Not if they are REALLY the 55 watts they claim.

it won't melt anything unless the wattage is over the recommended

looks good

those are pretty bright? where did you find out about these?

BTW... does anyone else find it funny that you can buy read headlights?

1) Im not understanding the whole " GL seeing in the rain " posts
2)"how did I find them ?" I just did a google search for H7 alternatives

3) so far so good, no melting , ran them for a good hour drive each way to and from work ...

for shows silly

get pics of threm on at night shining on the street. is it good light out put?

yeah do HW make it hard to see in the rain?!?!?

Be sure to tell us if they burn out too soon

Blue is the worst color lighting to use at night (yellow is the best), and bad weather just compunds the problem. Not to mention the blue tint on the bulb already handicaps the light output as it is. I had some of those blue bulbs, I'd say moderately blue (probably around 6000-7000K), and the night I installed them it was raining. I went out and couldn't see more than 10ft in front of me. It was so bad I had to turn back and put my stock bulbs back in. The blue bulbs were bright on the wall and everything, but on the road, they were almost non existant. My fogs put more light on the road than the headlights did.

blue are you talking about the MTEC bulbs or the Eurodzigns ones?

Yeah, there is no question about the problem these "hyper-white/blue" lights have in poor weather. Factory fog lights are always amber for a reason.

The reason nobody realizes the shortfalls of these bulbs are simple. To judge the brightness, everyone either shines them on a white wall, or looks directly into the light. Try turning them on a black wall, see what happens.

That being said... I still use them cause they are purdy.

^^ still keepin the celi jon? anyways if you get those bulbs let us know what you think of it...

same here john.

well, it's gonna stay for sale until it's sold... but i'm not taking much below book for it... so it might be here for a while.

will do tonight fellaz

haha i just bought a set!!!

Both. Almost anything with a blue or purple coating on the bulb.

Yup, there's even a filter built into our fog light lenses that will prevent you from matching headlight and foglight colors, since it makes the light output yellowish.

Yup, my friend just installed some purple and blue headlight bulbs on his Supra, and the lighting on the road was horrible. Good thing he doesn't drive it in the rain.

^^^ Hey, what can I say? I live in Cali. There is never bad weather here, and I'm never driving anyplace that doesn't have street lights, so really headlights don't serve all that much purpose. They make you visable to other cars... and that's about it.

I have said the same to an extent yet no one every wants to believe.
I also believe that some of the street lights might cancel out some of the light output from these MTEC's. And still no one wants to believe and still yet I still just ordered some replacement MTEC low beams to fill in my one blown one.
I should have gotten rid of these when my girl said "where is the road?"
"It's rather dark tonight." Then I knew all the MTECS were for show and nothing but less than stock.
This will hopefully be the last and will be now that I know about these replacements and others. Thanks all .

^^^^ nice to see your survived my brake job.

HA HA, that's funny. The dealership did free up that caliper and cleaned it free of charge and put shims in the pad, even though I told them not to The bolt wasn't broken, they had the caliper off. I saw it. Cost me nothing.
I also have the proper bed in procedures that I will do soon. Thanks again for everything.

Weird, cause I know the bolt didn't have a head on it, unless they put it in from the opposite side (which I don't think is possible).

anyone going to post some night pics?

I'm probably getting the lights tomorrow. I'll try to post some pics after I install it. I'll take a pic on the streets.

Sorry for the N00b question but are thoes HID's ?

No it's just blue tinted halogens. But supposedly they are really white like the real xenon.

how wud the lightbulbs look w/out the blu/purple tints?

it would look like stock bulbs...a amberish color
