Well i’ll hear tonight probably about the pricing. Because i’m posotive the Hi/Lo kit is more expensive. I was only quoted for the sigle beam kits which go for the original quoted price. So i’ll have to see what the price difference is. I’ll update soon. Thanks!

It is more expensive… You’re going to be looking at $400 minimum.

Yeah forsure, I just emailed seller on ebay and he told me $440 US + Shipping $45 US, plus taxes, duties, brokerage…your looking atleast $620 CND if you buy from ebay. I’ve just got word from supplier and the best price I can get for the H4 Hi/Lo is $495 CND which includes shipping, taxes, duties, brokerage, everything in your hand. So its steal a great deal comparing to what they are going for on ebay. So just to recap…

MTEC Single Beam Kits (All sizes and colours) = **$295 CND** (In your hands)

MTEC H4 Hi/Lo kits (All colours) = **$495 CND** (In your hands)

I hope that clears everything up!

so h4 hi/low is 200$ more? just cuz the bulb has mechanism to be tilted? to be honest the price shuld be 40-50$ more for the tilt bulb type that takes away lowbeam for highbeam… the price u provided before there is no way it wuld be 200$ more on top of the kit that provided 2 hid single beam bulbs already… unless

BUT if this is the one that uses the h4 dual capsule with 4 Ballast instead of 2 then 495 is still a ok price.

so can u please confirm? thanks…

I have confirmed. And if you want email any of the sellers on ebay and ask them how much the H4 Hi/Lo kit costs, they don’t have any listed but can get them and they have all quote me much high prices. Your still saving like $125 at least with the GB. I’ll look around maybe I can get you a better deal on a Hi/Lo kit but it would be from a cheaper chinese brand, i’ll keep you posted. These kits are still A+ quality.

I do believe you’re right. Hi/Lo usually consists of 4 ballasts.

Check this for example;

Yea thats what I was thinking, any kit with only 2 ballasts for Hi/Lo I would be suspect of. I’ll find out tonight if this kit infact includes 4 ballasts.

Does “MADE IN JAPAN” mean it is a tight fit but if you work it enough it will function all night?\>??
