RE: HID Conversion DONE! (Pics and info)
Yes the OEM HID bulbs are D2R, which are designed for reflector housings. And yes D2S are for projector housings. You can tell from the pic that the design of the bulb has a precise metalic coating on the side. This is not on D2S bulbs, so I can say with confidence that the coating helps with the cutoff for reflector housings.
and jsrd, great pic of the comparison of the HID and Halogen housings. I knew there was a difference, but I never had the chance to see them side-by-side. GREAT!

Thank's dekodan. One more commentary: the correct type of HID bulb for the type of optical in our Outlander (low beam) is D2R (reflector type); D2S is for optical projector type, data to consider for those want makes this modification [sm=smiley20.gif]
