a lot of the time the bulbs arent even 6 or 10 K or whatever. Since there are so many ignorant people out there who think bigger is better they try and get the most K bulbs when in fact like dave was sayin, its the opposite. It is unsafe and pointless. Just make sure if you do decide to go that high, make sure it is a reputable company(phillips) or something.

I feel that if you cant change a simple headlight bulb you shouldnt be modding a car. Some may disagree just how I feel. Its as easy as jacking up the car, removing the wheel, taking the inner fender plastics out and swapping bulbs. Will take 10 min per side. I you cant take off a wheel, two 10mm bolts and some clips I feel bad for you.

The main difference is the U-shaped masking on the D2R that blocks out unpredictable light in certain directions. Also, the base has different notches. Name of base is P32-d2 for D2S and P32-d3 for D2R. D2R was developed so that Mercedes could still use their reflector based headlights in the mid 1990s. They did not want use projectors like BMW. A glare box inside the headlight could have been used to accomplish a straight line, but a mask painted on the bulb was cheaper to make and had better precision. Other (near) luxury cars (Lexus, Infinity and Acura) followed Mercedes and equipped their cars with D2R bulbs in reflector based headlamps. Using a D2R in anything else than a OEM HID headlight designed for the D2R bulb makes no sense. It will only reduce output. Some HID kits comes with D2R bulbs. Some amateur kit designers will even claim that D2R genrally reduces glare in a retrofit. This is nonsense. The D2R bulb masking is around 3-4 a'clock and 8-9 o'clock when bulb is in right position. Those are not the (only) sectors that creates glare.
As an example, here is the data on Philips 2 versions:
D2S: 3200lm, 4250K, 91lm/W, 35W
D2R: 2800lm, 4150K, 80lm/W, 35W
As an example, here is the data on Philips 2 versions:
D2S: 3200lm, 4250K, 91lm/W, 35W
D2R: 2800lm, 4150K, 80lm/W, 35W
Zs (2006 up)using D2S not D2R
