Latest MTEC H8 bulb for E92/E93

Hi all,

Does anybody have any idea what the latest MTEC bulb is for the pre-LCI E92/E93?

Their messaging isn't so clear when you look online so wanted to check I am buying the most recent and up to date product.

Thanks

Brendan

What kind of bulb are you referring to. MTEC sell a large number of different bulbs for different applications

I'm after the H8 bulbs for the angel eyes. I would rather have the LUX 160's but I'm in the UK and they're £200 over here!

Thanks.

I'm a little confused, perhaps someone can advise. Looking at the variety of bulbs available, I feel perplexed as to why some bulbs with lower wattage seem in some way 'better' than those with higher wattage?

The MTEC v3 bulbs are 26w correct? So why are they regarded as better and brighter bulbs than some that are 40w or 80w? For example, these? - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-80W-CR...oAAOSwfZ1WbnvQ

What wattage are the LUX H8 160? I assume they can't be 160w?

Sorry if these are all simple questions, I just want to ensure I am buying the best product possible

It is confusing since a lot of no-name companies list them at a theoretical maximum wattage, some as halogen equivalent wattage, and in the MTEC mostly likely the wattage used.

There are tons of thread out there already, but one thing i can tell you is that our lights produce 1600 lumens per side and do not dim ever, making them extremely bright. Take a look at the reviews here on the forum and you will get a better sense of what your are looking for. We also have a section on our website dedicated to comparing our lights to the rest: https://www.luxangeleyes.com/pages/d...pare-challenge
