1. D2R

2. Xenon is not a brand. It just mean that bulb is filled w/ mixutre of mostly Xenon gas along w/ other inert gases.

I believe the stock HID D2Rs are Philips. XEON is intel's server-grade processors.

Yeah, actually these two companies are the only major manufacturers that make HID bulbs--D2R and D2S. Philips sells more than Osram, but basically they are the same.

Just make sure you buy and install the pair at the same time to avoid color shifting.

The color shift also tends to bring it up to near 5k levels after some time.

You got it. Philips also sells 4100k bulbs. I've got the Ultinons and they're great.
