TYC bulb ?
I ordered a set of black tyc projectors and the seller is throwing in MTEC H1 xenon bulbs. Do u think these bulbs will be better than the once from TYC. I will have a bodyshop install them and my little bro will have to take care of the light install so i won't be able to compare. I want the shop to already have the bulbs in so that they can allign them

the stock bulbs for the Accord low beams are 9006, but i know with the TYC projectors you need H1 for the low beam.
If i got the TYC projectors, would i need to change the wiring so that i wont burn the stock wires with the H1's, or would i be able to use 9006 with those projectors?

what max wattage can we run on our wires? The mtec's I found on e-bay were between 100w-150w thats a shitload. I think we need 55w. I guess if the lights I recieve are above 55w I'll just throw them on e-bay.
Do u guys think they will be better than the osrams in the tyc's?? They say xenon, is that marketting or they actually are filled with Xe? I thought only HID had Xe?

I burn European market (EDM? lol!) OSRAM SilverStar H1s in my TYC projectors, all four H1 
. Bright as hell. The advantage to the Euro version is +50% light vs +30% for the US SilverStars. I get flashed all the time with my just my low beams on, it's funny. TYC card would protect me from a cop, so I'm covered. (I don't have emissions tests, etc, so the cops around here are pretty easy unless your car is spewing smoke/is louder than a jackhammer/etc.)
(Sylvania and OSRAM are one in the same, different brand name for different markets)
