MTec Bulbs WTF!!!
i got my friend mtec bulbs for his e92 328xi coupe. it hasen't even been 2 months and the passenger fog bulb blew, and the driver headlight h8 is dimmer then the passenger.
did i just get a defective mtec bulbs or do they really suck? he installed during warmer weather. could it be b/c the bulbs couldn't adjust to the new upcomming winter chill and just blew? i got mine from http://www.automotivelightingusa.com/ HELP PLEASE |

I think sometimes you just get a bad set of bulbs. My friend used to sell bulbs in bulk and sometimes you just run across a bad pair.

I thought the same thing, but two months is a long time.

you can try to return them to automotivelighting and see if they'll replace them.
