Hid bulbs

You might try this site.

Can't say how the quality is, but the prices are good.

The D2S is not much different, it only lacks a reflective strip that the D2R has. D2S is also much easier to find throughout the market. The difference in output/glare that the strip has is negligible. So you can put a D2S or D2C bulb in a D2R housing. Ask me how I know.

Yes the diffrence would be output/glare those strips is there for a reason. U dont want to put D2S Type bulb on a D2R type Reflector headlight assembly (2nd Gen) they would look funky and out of spec. They are mostly used for Projector type headlights assembly (3rd gen)

D2R = Reflector type headlamps (2ndGen)
D2S = Projector type Headlamps (3rd Gen)

Cheapest is not always the best way to go, IMO.

Sometimes paying a bit more will give ya a better product and keep ya outta trouble.

I can promise you, as a person who has a lot of experience with these headlights, HIDs, projectors, etc, the output difference is not there. You will not have glare above the cutoff, they will look exactly the same as a D2R. They will not look "funky and out of spec." Yes, D2S are prominent for projectors, but they work flawlessly in a reflector-based HID setup. The unblocked light from the D2S bulb is not going to stray above the cutoff, as the reflector pattern hasn't changed; it still focuses all of the light in the designed manner.

Listen or not, I do not care, I am just letting you know that there are plenty of options.
