HID bulb type

Featured Replies

Hello

My car is now 5yo (2007 2.5TDI) and i thought that HID bulb should be replaced.

But. I dont know exact type. I was told that those are some kind of bixenon.

Any hints?

Regards

Well, this seems to be for low beam but as I understand high beam in my case should be also xenon and it should be one bulb...

Refer to owners manual page 222

If your high beam is also xenon, then the bulb is also D2S. As in my case, I have xenons for low beam. High beam is regular H3 and fog lights are also H3 but inside the projector lense. Just make sure what do you have.

Easiest way is to turn on ignition and put on the high beam and go front of the car. If the high beam is coming from the reflector not projector then you have regular H3 bulbs for high beam.

Bi-xenon is marketing con, all it means (at least to car makers and dealers) is that xenons are lit on both dip/main beam settings, which frankly is expected.

Then sometimes, as you would expect from the name, the bi-xenons remove shutter or lift up, giving out more HID light on the high beam setting.

Most post-2005 Superbs had H3 high beam, and projector D1S or D2S HID low beam - and it is the D1S vs D2S that you need to be sure about.

Looks like this question has been answered now :-)
