2DS is for projectors. 2DR is for Reflectors. 03-05 has reflectors.

Stick with OEM bro. If it says a specific bulb use that bulb. What look or function are you trying to achieve? Do you want them brighter? A different color? More light out put? Whatever it is, you can find it in HID form in a different temperature.

Search 8000K HID 2DR Bulbs on ebay or Google shopping. Also check under LIGHTING in our Marketplace under the VENDOR option.
6000K is what I recommend, its a pure white. If you want a hint of blue the 8000K shld work just fine for you. Anything more and you're asking for police attention.

First off its D2S (projectors) and D2R (Reflectors).

The only difference is the knicks in the base and the D2R are covered on the bottom so you don't look like buddy next door with his glaring 30000000K PnP kit because you NEED those bottom covers on the bulb.

Don't use D2S, and don't use D2H. Use D2R. If you go any higher than 6000K you're losing lumens and wasting output. If you have a decent budget, look at the Osram CBI D2R bulbs. White output (slight slight blue without the rice) and its 3400 lumens (same as the 85122+) without the yellow tinge. Best of both worlds.
