What is D2S bulb?

D2S — discharge second generation shielded — bulbs are specifically designed for projector headlamps. Reflector headlamps contain a light source, such as an arc, positioned near the focus of a parabolic reflector, which helps reflect the glare caused by vehicle headlights in oncoming traffic.

Can you replace HID bulbs yourself?

High-intensity discharge, or HID, xenon headlamps use a higher voltage than ordinary halogen lights. When replacing them, the entire bulb assembly needs to be replaced rather than just the bulb. However, if you have an after-market HID xenon kit installed, you can replace the bulbs yourself.

What’s the difference between D2S and D2R bulbs?

The difference between D2S and D2R is that D2S HID bulbs are designed to be used in a projector headlight application, and a D2R type is made for a reflector application – such as in worklights and some driving lights. You can easily identify them as the D2R has a painted shield onto the glass, whereas the D2S doesn’t.
