It will work as a d2s bulb, it has dual notches so that it can be used in both d2r and d2s housings(even though it shouldn't be used in d2r housings)

Yes and no - The D2C bulb fits like both D2R and D2S, but does not have the black glare shield like most D2R has.

You don't need a glare shield in our HID projectors, it's built in. The D2R is made to go into a factory halogen housing to prevent glare (since there's no cut off shield like a true HID projector has).

To be honest, I've never tried. Since your reflectors were made for xenon bulbs to begin with, I doubt the difference is that big... prob a little more glare than normal. There won't be a difference if you have projectors.
