I went with OSRAM Cool Blue Intense(next gen) D2s bulbs to replace my old HID OEM bulbs and really like the color, brightness and beam pattern. I think the LED emitters are a technology that needs much more development before they can successfully compete with good HID systems. The problem, as I see it, is to get all the chip emitters oriented in a spherical array that has the sphere's center aligned with the focal point of a reflector/lens, hence a tightly collimated beam with minimal angular dispersion.

Was absolutely confused,LED OR HID for my MB E-250 W212,you made up my mind brother.. Will stick to the original HID. Thanks a lot..

Also could you use a d1s bulb instead of a d3s bulb or would you need a different ballast, voltage looks different.

is there an adapter for a d1s housing for a d2h bulb? or anther aftermarket HID. I am looking into a projector headlight housing but my car has a halogen factory housing. my issue is the clip that holds the d1s in place. Is there a way around that for other bulbs?

For this, you are likely looking for a 6000k or 8000k color setup for that blue tone! 6K will be a much lighter blue tone, more so white than anything with a hint of blue. Think of modern LED headlights, this is 6K! 8000k is a much deeper blue color, it is much more obvious than 6K is. We can link you directly to the bulbs you need, send us an email!

Not surprised at all since a projector is designed to utilize all of the light around the bulb unlike deflectors where its mostly horizontal (or rarely vertical) part of projection :)

What kind of ballast do I need for a d1s set up for a 2007 chrysler 300 srt8?

Something to note that while HID and LED are both point sources of light, the two manifest their light differently. Headlight manufacturers note this manifestation in designing their headlights around the light source used. Putting LED in a housing where an HID bulb belongs is the same as putting HID in a halogen housing. They may fit, but the output and spread will never be better than the bulb it was originally designed for.

@HeadlightRevolution

When going up in wattage with HID kits you don't have to worry about the wires, at that point you would burn up the internal reflective surface of the projector resulting in less light output over time.

Lucky for us, both Osram and Phillips have not left us out in the cold and have come out with newer and brighter bulbs, all while using the same OEM setup. Bulbs from Osram like the Night Breaker Laser or the Cool Blue Boost. And from Phillips, the Xtreme Vision Gen 2. All are much brighter than the standard OEM Osram/Philips bulb and in fact are the brightest xenon bulbs on the market at their color range.
