Trying to find a reputable shop for some MTEC lighting upgrades

GF's birthday is coming up and I want to pick up the MTEC LED angel eye bulbs, MTEC LED license plate housings, and a pair of the Vista/or JLevi DRL harnesses.

Google yields a few results, but the websites all look super sketchty

Just order some MTEC D1S and MTEC HID fog light replacement bulbs from E92-Lighting (a vendor on this forum).

From my experience, I would recommend him.

Cool, thanks

Also, I'm not tied to MTEC, I've just read good things.

PM E92-lighting, that's where I got mine and he has great prices. I wouldn't bother with the harness since you can't see the lights in the sunlight anyways.

Agree, but disagree. If you get the MTEC V3s for the pre-lci e90, they're pretty damn visible in the day. Don't get me wrong, they're not like the LCI coupe AEs, but they're definitely visible. I agree with not getting the harness though. During the day, just set the lighting to parking lights and they'll be on (along with your DRLs if you don't turn them off).

Hmm based on my experience they aren't in direct sunlight, or just barely noticeable. During overcast skies however, depending on how bright outside, they can be fairly visible. Sucks how the E90 got the older AE design
