Which HID Bulb is Better D2s or D2R?

what are the differences? seems like dr2 cost more. reason why i ask is cuz the oem audi hids i got off ebay have d2s osram bulbs. thanks. i know niether the 1st or 2nd gen cl has projector headlamps so will the bulb matter in this case? oem cl hid is dr2. should i get d2r instead?

i have a pair of D2R bulbs im selling for 65 shipped if you're interested. hehe


i believe D2S is designed for a Projector housing and the D2R is designed for a reflector housing. The D2R has a ceramic coating on the top part of the bulb that helps with the cutoff point i believe. The D2S has no coating.

Neither the bulb differences are to accomodate different headlamp assemblies and different reflector technology.Jens

D2R = Reflector (Acura CL)
D2S = Projector (BMW 3)
