Never used either but I'll be the nag and state that unless 1, you have proper optics and 2 the ballasts have SAE markings they would illegal and potentially if you get a cranky cop your car could be impounded.
I've heard good reviews of the Mtecs though |

| oh i was talking to the salesperson and they recomended the helios. also i will be buying brand new oem headlight housings for both sides, so the optics should be good. i dont plan to retrofit any audi or bmw projectors in mine, they take too much work, im looking for just the plug and play. also does anyone know a good place to buy oem headlight housings, westside acura is like 500 for both(obviosly expensive because its the dealer). thanks |

OEM optics are good for halogen bulbs not HID. If you stay in the 4000-4300K range hopefully the cops won't bug you.
I have 6000K(I asked for 5000K) in ECE's but mine are the hi/lo with a standard halogen "hi" so around traffic I use the halogen, and then the HID's are purely highway deer finders. |

Almost any local shop will sell you either the MTEC or Helios HID kits because they all buy from the same 2 suppliers.
Price range you may have to do some haggling but your not gonna get too much knocked off MSRP unless you go to one shop that will remain un-named that likes to low-ball prices. |
