Throw the D2R in the low beam projectors, and pawn the other kit off to someone on craigslist or just return it. 5000K HID's should be a great improvement over the stock halogen lows, that's for sure.
I think I didn't think twice about ordering a set of HIDs for bright, is because I've always had Bi-Xenon HIDs which didn't need time to warm up since it's already on.

Correct. Bi-Xenon is just the cutoff shield folding down and allowing the "glare" to escape.

Just FYI, using my 2012 SE as a reference, stock HIDs are Osram D2S, not D2R. As a result, there is no black coating on the bulb that D2R bulbs typically have. Guess Mitsu wised up since 2011 and realized D2R in a projector makes no sense.

How so? Didn't you already install the D2R? Isn't that what the video you posted was of?

If you're talking about the OEM D2R bulbs I already offered to take them off your hands.

The 2013 doesn't take D2R bulbs, I had to buy H11's. I have an extra set of 5k D2R

Awww, damn. I just realized what happened! Did I tell you the wrong bulb size in the other thread? I was under the impression that you had OEM HID's (confusing you and the OP of this thread).

Alright, I'm gunna merge the couple HID threads and gather up all the info.

Ok, well, I take that back. I can't actually find anywhere that I actually told you to order those, so IDK why I thought I did. Unfortunately, everything I can find says that the OEM low is 9005 for halogen or D2R for OEM HID, and H11 for high beams and fog lights.



Also, I can't help but laugh (sorry) that you ordered the wrong bulbs after you posted this:

Then just pull the bulb out and see what it looks like?
