It is schedule to arrive soon. 20 sets arriving. 10 sets already pre-ordered. This is not a for sale thread. A classifieds thread will be there once the product arrives and I have pictures. These MTEC H8 Angel Eyes are $240 shipped.

So are they brighter than HID angel eyes since they are more expensive?

I don't think we can compare to HID ... not exactly apple to apple ... but for led to led maybe compare w/ Lux?

so have these lights been tested fitted to check for error codes? And as always, pics in daylight along with comparisons to oem led ae's, HID AE's , Orion Rings, GP thunders, and/or perhaps Lux's would be nice...

I'd be interested to see 'em side-by-side with the LUX too. I doubt I'd change mine out as I am sufficiently happy but am curious. It seems like the H8 bulbs are incapable of getting both AEs to the same level of brightness.. probably due to the design of the lights and perhaps due to the way light works as well.

it's due to the design of the lights/ae's...one bulb lights both rings, the outter rings are furthest from the bulb, so they get the least of the light distribution....
