HellaD2S 5000 K Xenon Performance Bulb, (85V, 35W)

I was looking at spending $97 for a similar bulb from the auto part store until I decided to check Amazon. This appeared to be identical to the factory bulb so I figured I’d give it a try.Fit perfect in my 2013 Subaru Wrx. Is nearly identical to the brightness and color of the original one from the other side (I think it’s only different because the other side is 11 years old). Perfect product.

Love the brightness and Oem quality. Bluer than stock hid bulbs but I think that's a good thing.

You definitely get what you pay and Hella is so worth getting so much brighter then the crappy 20 dollar Chinese bulbs.

In the pictures you can see a comparison between the old osram bulbs and the new hella bulbs in a 2006 mercedes e350. I have installed very expensive osram cbi/cbb bulbs in other hid equipped vehicles and tbh these are close enough that I would not hesitate to purchase again. Great value. Color and brightness are tough to tell in cell phone pictures, but obviously the blue-er tinged bulbs are the hellas. They look less blue in real life. Nice bright white for an oem+ look. Great performance. Would recommend. Excellent VALUE!

Fits perfect on 2011 Mazda CX9

Purchased a set in December 2022. The 5000K color temperature is somewhat unique, and provides nice contrast without being obnoxious or tiring. The price is also reasonable compared to other OEM brands.Bulb #1 began to fail in October 2023 (flashing, flickering, failing to hold an arc). I contacted both Amazon, and every possible contact point at Hella itself. There is absolutely NO warranty support for these items, and it is impossible to reach anyone or find any resource to return or exchange the bulb within the one-year warranty window.There are no customer support email addresses at Hella that will respond to email inquiries, nor are there any online RMA request forms or other opportunities to begin a warranty exchange request. Amazon support simply directs you to the Hella website with no other information.Beyond that, I'm not happy about paying full price for a matching replacement while the broken bulb is still within the warranty window, and I don't look forward to tearing half the front end of the car apart just to replace a product that should last longer than 10 months and a few thousand miles.Two stars since the other bulb is still functioning properly.

I wanted to give these a try because they are less than a third of the price of the more expensive brands. There's a reason for that. After a few weeks of use I wish I had paid the extra money and bought high quality bulbs . These are pretty dim and one has a yellow tint to it while the other is white. Don't buy these.

I can't believe how dim this bulb is. It's probably dimmer than the stock HID.
