Wow. This is a rather harsh message...with the underlining and all.
Granted, some people here may not know what they're talking about, but I bet they can change out a lightbulb without having to take the car to a mechanic!
J/K. The weathers starting to warm up now, and if I can't pull together enough money to finish the retrofit in the next month or so, then I'm going to go with the Mtecs. I've seen several pics in other car forums of them, and while in all reality, they are nowhere near HID, they do give a nice look to the car.
