unless you have 06 bixenon headlights, you actually need d2r bulbs. They did you a favor by sending you the correct bulbs

OEM or aftermarket? Which side is the notch on the base of the bulb?

Did it have the ceramic shielding on the top of the bulb or completely clear?

you are crazy, lol, JK
03-05 uses D2R bulbs because they use reflector HID bulbs
06+ uses D2S bulbs because they use projectors HID bulbs

End of this confusion !

The d2s bulbs wouldn't even physically fit in the headlight properly without modification. Care to post a pic of your d2s bulbs that came out of your headlights?

Always buy products from established stores. I buy all my car lights and its accessories from underground lighting. They are very affordable and high quality products too.
