[QUOTE="offroadkarter, post: 11118943, member: 79484"] nobody does HID "reflector" retrofits, its HID Projector retrofits It looks to me that the large box is the ballast, and the smaller box is the igniter, thats just a guess though, but the setup looks really old and bulky... Projectors use D2S, reflectors use D2R, hence the R in D2R Why bother? first off, you'll probably scratch the crap out of the capsule, get skin oils allover it and what not. Secondly, you'll have to notch the base to fit into a D2S slot, since the S and R are notched in different spots so you don't mix them up. And on top of all that, these are old used bulbs, they are probably due for a change anyways.... Also, the point of the paint on the capsule isn't for the cutoff, its to cut down on glare since they are used in a reflector housing. The optics of the reflector are what define the cutoff. [/QUOTE]
