FAQ
Are D5S, D6S and D8S interchangeable?
No. The bases are different, so order the size printed on your bulb.
Do I need to remove the xenon ballast?
Not with the plug & play Xenon to LED bulbs – they use your factory ballast and connector. The App Control xenon bulbs are different: they bypass the ballast, so the wiring must be modified.
Can I put these bulbs in halogen headlights?
No. D-series bulbs are made for factory xenon headlights only. If your car has halogen headlights, check our H7, H11, 9005 or 9006 LED bulbs instead.
