MTEC H7 in low-beam, stock bulbs in high-beam + running light

THE MONEYSHOT! Both low-beam + high-beam with MTEC H7s + MTEC T10 running light

MTEC COSMOS BLUE/WHITE H7 HEADLIGHT BULBS

How do both lights work with low beam? Could you explain your mod better, I like the look and want to do the same.

Thanks, Daren

Looks like you got one, but I have an HSA Red Dot scope if you're looking for one for your AR.

From what little night riding I do the Cosmos Blue/White Bulbs seem to be better that stock.

You have to take the Black/Base part of the stock light off and attach it to the aftermarket light. Dont worry it wont brake, but pull straight down.
It took me 5 minutes....just remove the rubber cover, the bulb retainer spring, the thing the bulb plugs into, and the bulb....I wore latex gloves with the new bulbs to prevent finger oil from creating hot spots on the bulb.
