Anyone using Mtec HIDS?

I've been looking around, but does anyone have pictures of what the Mtec HID's (headlights for those with nonxenons) look like on an E90? I'm curious about how it looks. I hope its not too blue..

I know i shoulda got the xenons.. but.. shrug. big mistake.
wont make the same mistake on the E92 M3

FYI, I just installed Hyperwhite halogen bulbs for the fogs with no error messages. I was expecting them to be a little more bluish, but they weren't. I believe ADHD has the Mtec HIDs.

I just installed MTEC H11 foglamp bulbs a week ago.
And now high&low-beam bulbs are on their way to my place.
I'm very happy with the quality of the bulbs and the whiteness the bulbs gave me.
It's a MTEC H11 4,350 K HID Super White. It has a slight bluish white light. Not too blue.

Wait a minute, I was under the impression that us halogen people still need projectors to properly use this HID kit. Otherwise the cutoffs would be messed up and the light would just scatter. I thought I had to buy the OEM Xenon headlights to get HID's. So if i have the halogens, I can also just buy this kit for my headlights and have HID's that work and focus properly?
