MtecV2 angel eyes (7000k) are over $100. The Rdash equiv (also 7000k) are $50. So why is one better than the other? Are the Mtec's really that much brighter?

MTEC's are error free, we had some issues with Rdash throwing codes that went away after a few seconds (this applies to pre-lci only)

Lemme complete the answer.

MTEC V2 uses a 3W CREE LED which makes it brighter than a 6W LED. However a CREE LED

MTEC V2 uses better heat sinks to disperse heat a lot better than the plastic RDash.

RDash is a replica of PIAA which uses a regular 3W LED.

In sense, the MTEC V2 should outlast the RDash by years!
