D2S bulbs are for projector headlights. Your TL needs D2R so the headlight lense can properly focus and use the available light. Using a D2S will cause glare. BTW, D2R lights have a black ring near the base.

Are you sure that the bulb is dead? Have you tried swapping the bulbs to make sure it's not the ballast?
