W166 Bi-Xenon light bulb
So my suv is now at 225 000 km and the factory left Xenon bulb crapped out. Time to change them both. I'm on Rockauto and it seems the original OEM bulbs are from Philips. Problem is, there are two versions. D1S and HD1s. Anyone know the difference?

https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/...amp+bulb,11701

I'm 99% sure the OEM are the D1S. But maybe the HD1S and the newer brighter versions?

Go with Osram Xenarc Cool Blue. D1S is what you need.

Thanks! Found the cool blue boost on Amazon. Will order them! 7000k should be interesting. Hopefully, they won't suck in the rain/snow.

They should last for sometime, close to OEM length. I avoided those cheap ebay ones as I heard they can blow up the ballast.
