I was wondering, I have a set of D2S bulbs, and was thinking, would D2S bulbs work with 2GS reflective Xenon D2R OEM headlights??? I know that the base is different and wouldnt go on a D2R base for the ignitor, but a dremel would resovle this.

Basically, I know they would fire up and I could get them to fit, but I guess my question is: Would I still get the same cutoff, or would it get out of sync???? I was thinking the cutoff/output might be affected Because D2R bulbs have metal pieces on the glass while D2S bulbs do not.

Has anybody done this, if so pics pweeze?? I dont want to blind people, but I was thinking maybe those metal D2R pieces hinder the output some, and D2S bulbs would give me better output, without blinding people if I could keep the same cutoff. I think it possibly is possible if the step and cutoff has all to do with the reflector, and not necissarily the bulb. Thanks ahead of time.

if i remember right the cutoff will be really messed up and u would throw glare off like hell.

really?? dam, I am so tempted to do this, but the bulbs are like new and I can sell them,If I do it and it doesnt work, then I wouldnt get much for them after I had put them to a dremel.

what make/model and temp are these bulbs?

i may be willing to pick them up depending. i could use the D2S bulbs.

D2R and D2S OEM HID bulbs should have the same base.

Yes, you will get a different output with D2S bulb in OEM HID reflector housing. D2S are made for projector housings....not reflector type (2GS). I suggest sticking with D2R.

thanks everyone for their input.

So nobody has done/seen/heard someone doing this? I might be willing just for pioneering sake. But I still would be happy to see someone elses results if they had done this, before I venture into possibly messing up these bulbs.
