There have been lots of questions about the MTEC2 in the daytime. These shots show what they look like with a slightly overcast sky. My guess is that in full sunlight they will not be very visible but I have to confirm this. Most of the shots we have seen show the car direct and close up - I think we really want to know what it looks like from far away (i.e. what will other drivers see?). The shot below shows the car at a distance. The sky is overcast but it is definitely daytime - and you can see the angel eyes...


On a side note, my lights seem to be a bit out of alignment. Notice the driver's side is head-on while the passenger is pointed down. I thought it was supposed to be the opposite for the US? Any thoughts? I figure maybe I need to re-align since installing the lights but at the same time, I have adaptive headlights that are self leveling...

Any thoughts???

I think it would be best to take pictures without your headlights on.

Seems pretty similar to the regular bumper. I prefer the regular mtec.

of course. When r u picking up a set? They are WHITER and brighter than AiB. Most importantly WHITER. Why do you want it to look 4300K when it can look like 6000K?
