The Following pictures are taken in DIRECT SUNLIGHT! The sun is basically shining right TOWARDS the car and more angled to the driver side headlight. This is effect made the driver side headlight look brighter. In fact, the whole housing is brighter. And STILL, the MTEC V2 is much brighter in comparison!

Once again, left is MTEC V2, right is RDASH

This last picture shows that the angel eyes are turned off. Remember, it looks like it's on but the sunlight is directing EVERYTHING to it. In real life, it's nice and bright. Visible!

I promised you guys!

MTEC V2 VS AiB V3!!!!!

AIB V3 Passenger and Driver side




Look how nice the MTEC looks next to the AIB



Passenger side is MTEC V2 and Driver side is AIB V3


MTEC V2


AIB V3



In summary, MTEC V2 is slightly brighter and definitely WHITER than AiB V3. I would go with either one. It depends which brand you want and how white you want your angel eyes.


Please post some comments

Yes it;s very close in daytime brightness but the whiteness is amazing! look at the outer ring and you'll see the difference.

Is the AIB smaller in size? The MTEC V2 was a pain to get in based on it's length. As you are aware there isn't much room to maneuver within the light assembly. Looks from the photo like the AIB might be shorter, and thus easier to fit. Just curious. If that is the case, possibly you could provide feedback to MTEC that they should consider changing the footprint in future versions....

actually, the AiB V3 is harder to install. The MTEC V2 may be longer but MUCH easier to manuever. It has EXACTLY enough room. The AiB was hard to turn and fit in. MTEC V2 fitment is perfect and excellent. I actually think installing the MTEC V2 is easier than the RDASH AND AiB

I hope you packaged in some paper towers with the shipment, for my bloody knuckles from removing the old ones.
