My new projector fog lights.

E90ROXS · 03-26-2012, 05:40 PM

I bought the housing from ebay for $140. The HID lights are from Alpine. It's much brighter than the regular non-projector housings. I love it so far. Planning to put in the 3000K for the fogs.

By the way, I also changed the D1S to Philips Ultinon 6700K. By far the brightest lights I have used. It leaves the MTEC D1S in the dark!!!!!

"By far the brightest lights I have used. It leaves the MTEC D1S in the dark."

Really! Is the color the same or bit bluer? I have the MTEC D1S in 6K, so if the Philips is indeed that much better I might consider upgrading...

MTEC is a bit of tealish.The Philips bulbs are more bluer when looking at the projector. The 6700K light output is pure white.

I'm not sure of the brand since it's on ebay lol. The quality and look is legit.
These projector fog lights can fit the e60 and e90 MTECH bumper.

But, do you really notice a significance in light output?
