Default AutomotiveLightingUSA hooked me up!! (with pictures)

Thank you, AutomotiveLightingUSA... for pimpin' my ride!! (Sorry, that was a bad MTV moment.)

In all seriousness, thanks to AutomotiveLightingUSA and scionstuff.com for hooking me up with these MTEC Cosmos Series headlight bulbs.

This is my first time trying to put pictures on ScionLife, so I'll probably mess these up... but here goes...

This is a picture of one of my headlights. It's hard to see the white light, but it's white. I love them because they aren't harassingly bright. They're white, yet they're subtle.

A scionstuff.com sticker... which is surprisingly cool! It doesn't stand out too much, but still accents the car. I like both of them! And I'll probably leave them on for longer than I'm supposed to.

Another look at my headlights. Sorry if the pictures don't show off the bulbs too well. It was 7:15 PM here when I took the pictures, and it was still bright outside.

I'll post some more pictures when I can (and when it gets darker). Thanks to AutomotiveLightingUSA and scionstuff.com once again!

Check them out at (where else?)... http://www.AutomotiveLightingUSA.com and http://www.scionstuff.com!

On a related note... I got tons of air bubbles in my scionstuff.com decals... any suggestions on how to fix them? Or for some later time, how to put them on better (without air bubbles)?

They look nice an white. I'd be interested in night time pics as soon as you have a set.

As for air bubbles in your decals, use a pin and poke an ever so small hole into the air bubble to press out the air. Once complete that should take care of the air bubbles and the hole should be very difficult to see.

THE DON,

That's awesome. I'm loving my lights. I'm thinking about getting some matching MTEC white bulbs for my foglights. Right now though, I'm broke.

These are some awesome lights! I'm happy like a little, giddy school girl... (although I'm not!)

PS: I'll get some more pictures up later tonight. I am at work right now and don't have my camera with me.

Alright! Here are some more pictures of my headlights... and some other pictures of my xA. Also, the first three pictures that I already posted are up again. (Sorry in advance! I'm a horrible photgrapher!)

















Yeah! I need a carwash... I know, I know.

Looking good.... I was glad the sponsorship sticker wasn't too big or ugly. I'm not a fan of stickers, but I'll rock this one.

Time to upgrade those fogs. I still think yellow would look hot... Kinda, Lexus style.

The MTEC goldens are pretty bright. Check my thread, https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...833&highlight=

in comparison to luminics, i hope its atleast increases visibility 100%...

the "look" with luminics is good, but the output does not please me.

In case of my MTECs, I (personally) think they look great! I know that a lot of people want a blindingly white light, but these are subtle.

I wouldn't say that they increase visibility by 100%. That means it doubles your visibility, right? They allow for better nighttime vision, but I doubt they double stock bulbs.

As far as a comparison with Luminics, I've only heard what other people have said and shown. All-in-all... I am happy with my bulbs. They look great and they are actually useful.

If you want to check out some new lights (fog, head, turn signal), go to http://www.automotivelightingusa.com. If you don't know the size you need for your car, check out http://www.scionstuff.com.

And oh yeah! Hey Ryan,
I think you guys should be up what the lights will look like when they are in. The sites just show off the bulbs, which is okay. But I'd rather see some active/working lights.
