D2S vs D2R in Stock 02-03 Headlights

I already know, that our stock bulbs are D2R bulbs, but I was wondering has anyone tried using D2S bulbs in their headlights? and hows the output of color and glare vs stock D2R bulbs...???

why would anyone going from the stock form???, maybe the color output might be better with the D2S bulbs, because they don't have that strip on the bulbs...

D2S bulbs will blind on-coming traffic....it will produce way more glare and you will most likely get pulled over if you pass a cop at night heading the opposite direction....stick with D2R bulbs, or do the projector retrofit....
