You can't just replace Tungsten/Halogen bulbs with these - they need a special lens and power supply

mark those are very similar to what i put in mine.. Thumbs Up




another clarification,

bi-xenon headlights have d2s bulbs which with the aid of a flap cover will give dipped and main beam from the one bulb...they also have separate halogen bulbs in the main beam which are used for 'flashing' and main beam ... ... - .- -.

when the xenon d2s bulbs are on there's a motorised flap that blocks some of the light which gives you your dip beam...

when you switch to main beam the flap moves and lets the full light through from the same bulb....
at the same time the halogen bulb comes on but that doesnt give off much light and is mainly for flashing... ... - .- -.
