why dont you take yourself over to hidforum, readup and do your homework.

D2S do not contain the cutoff portion on the capsul. Therefore, allowing more light to exit. Yes, there is glare but I could care less...wait till I turn on my HID fogs.

In my own comparison, D2S lights up the road better than D2R.

True....and the connectors on the bulbs are different too.

wtf are you talking about. Connectors are the same. The only difference is the bezel, you will need to cut out a small opening to make it fit.

5th gen use H3 bulbs, and 8,000K bulbs are usually blue not purple. If you want pruple, go 12,000K....

ive done research for the past two weeks and i concluded that xtech 6k h3 gives out purple however the 6k headlights are white because of the bigger space in the headlights. and each brand has different ratings. 12k 9004 can be either deep blue or deep purple depending on brand...

igor's 6500 purple heads, (dunno brand)

VIP, I've seen your posts across the forum in search of a definite answer to your purple fog need. I hope this will clarify things once and for all. First of all, pictures of HIDs lights are not dependable due to the camera, camera settings, and various other variables that could distort the true color of HID. It is true that some HID kits are more purple than the others, HOWEVER, it is pretty much GUARANTEED that if you buy a 12,000K HID kit, you WILL get purple light regardless of brand.

stupid question, I know, but why the hell are the D2S and D2R 6000K Ultinons illegal in the US?

I used to have the KOPS 7000K D2S bulbs. They put out a nice light purple color and I liked em, but I got flashed by a few drivers, so I changed back to stock D2R 4300K bulbs with the U-shaped masking on them. No more flashes. If you want the best 6000K bulbs, get the Ultinons. They are damn expensive though.
