Product Description
4100K Replacement capsule for HID systems that call for a D2S capsule. Includes capsule only and not the igniter. 4100k is the ONLY OEM HID color temperature. Price is for a single capsule. D2S is short for "discharge second generation shielded". These are found in vehicles that have projector headlamps with light shield
You can spot a D2S capsule by looking at the glass -- if there is no metal shielding around the glass, you have a D2S. D2S actually provides about 10% more light than the identical D2R part.
Unlike halogen incandescent lamps, the OSRAM/Sylvania lamp does not have a filament. Instead, it creates light from an electrical discharge between two electrodes in a micro-environment of xenon gas, mercury, and metal halide salts that are hermetically sealed in a tiny quartz capsule. The arc tube is encased in a glass jacket to filter ultraviolet rays. The light is emitted by an electrically energized gas -- a plasma discharge -- formed and sustained between two electrodes. The Luminarc system includes an electronic ballast that controls the arc ignition process and sustains the arc in normal operation.

 Great Deal July 10, 2010
Sam (Orange County, CA)
OMG ... I love Amazon even more now. If you need a replacement D2S HID Xenon bulb, get it here! At first I was a little apprehensive whether this was the right bulb.
One of my headlights went dark, but it was pinkish before that. So I wasn't sure if the problem was even a result of the bulb versus the ballasts or the ignitor ... But after doing a little internet research regarding the "pink eye" syndrome (Google it) ... its where your headlights turn pinkish / purplish before they totally burn out, and taking a leap of faith ... I decided to change out the bulb on my own. I'm sure the dealer would have charged me an arm and a leg. I did call a local BMW dealer who wanted approx. $250 for just ONE bulb. My jaw almost dropped. So here comes good ol' Amazon who has the same identical bulb listed for a little over $50.
I questioned how the same exact bulb could be dramatically less than what the dealer was charging. From previous experience I know the dealer does gouge you, but this is beyond highway robbery ... so the thought that maybe the bulb was different did enter my mind, but a previous reviewer wrote that it was OEM. Sure enough, the bulb turned out to be the exact same Osram (operates as Sylvania in U.S.) Xenarc "made in Germany" inscribed xenon bulb #66040 that my original BMW had.
After I hooked everything up, I was back in business ... so as it turns out, it was a burnt bulb after all. The job took about 15 minutes ... if you're unfamiliar with how to swap the bulb out, check out some of the videos on YouTube regarding how to change out HID bulbs, its a little bit more work than the normal bulbs. From what I understand, this 66040 bulb works with other car manufacturer with HID lights ... if not, check out the Phillips 85122 bulb.
direct replacement HID bulbs for SAAB 9-3 July 4, 2010

Although a pain to install (crammed space for my large hands) in the SAAB 9-3 they are a direct replacement for the OEM High Intensity bulbs, and, at this price, about a third or less than what your dealer or local auto parts store may charge you. Just make sure to disconnect the battery before you touch the lamp body, unless you want a shock.
OEM Quality for a fraction of the Price! May 13, 2010
P. Dyer (Roseville, CA)
These are the real deal, my 2008 Audi A6 had a flaky light that didn't always turn on. Dealer said they'd replace it for $250 PLUS labor. This was a fraction of the price, and took 5 minutes to install. Color match was dead-on, didn't have to change the other side. Osram, Made in Germany... Good stuff! Audi uses bulbs from either GE or Osram (mine had GE, but this color matched perfectly). So these are the SAME EXACT bulbs that the dealers sell. Price is near what a no-name made in china blub goes for. Thanks Amazon!
 Pretty good replacement for HID on Acura TSX 2006 April 23, 2010
Sharad (Seattle, WA)
I found this on amazon for 1/5th the price of what dealership was charging and 1/3 the price of the after-market component. Even after paying the local car shop for putting it in, I saved a lot of money. The light has a yellow tinge initially and my headlights were of different color for first few weeks. I was worried initially about that but then read somewhere that the color changes to whitish in 2-3 months. Its slowly getting there and is already very similar to my old bulb on the other side.
I am very happy that I went with this bulb.
Price is Right March 22, 2010
Mr. Cheap (Bay Area)
Passenger low beam burnt out in my 2001 BMW M5, went to Kragen and purchased a single replacement for $130. Decided to check how much one of these on Amazon would be and found that the exact same bulb was selling for $53 and change.
I was a little nervous on how well the color of the bulb would match the other one, but if there is any difference I can't notice it.
