Is $22 a good price for these bulbs?

Yes. Philips and Osram D2R bulbs usually cost several times that per pair. The $22.00 at eBay as of November 5, 2026 is the lowest new price we found, and only two stores list them new.

Will these fit my car?

Only if your car uses D2R bulbs with a P32D-3 connector, which is common on older factory HID low beams. Check your owner's manual or the bulb currently in the housing before buying.

Do they work with 55W ballasts?

Yes, Morimoto rates them for both 35W and 55W ballasts. Running 55W will shorten bulb life and can stress the housing with extra heat.

How do they compare to Osram CBI or Philips?

Morimoto claims output close to Osram CBI at 5500K. Independent data is thin, and Morimoto's own figures show Philips keeping slightly more brightness after 200 hours.

A pair of Morimoto D2R XB HID bulbs. Ballasts are not included despite the listing's ballast field; your car's existing ballasts power them.

When is the price lowest?

HID bulbs see the deepest discounts during holiday sales and clearance events. At $22.00 they are already near the floor, so waiting rarely saves much.

Our take on the Morimoto D2R XB 35W HID Bulbs 5000K

Morimoto D2R XB bulbs are 5000K HID headlight bulbs that run on 35W or 55W ballasts and use a P32D-3 connector. They use Philips quartz glass, an APL-USA capsule, Messer halide salts and Plansee electrodes, and Morimoto claims they match Osram CBI output at 5500K while keeping 83% of intensity after 200 hours. The best new price is $22.00 at eBay as of November 5, 2026, with two stores listing them new; at that price they undercut typical Philips and Osram D2R bulbs by a wide margin.

What reviewers say

Owners call the XB line the best value in aftermarket HID, with output close to Osram CBI and reliable behavior on fussy OEM ballasts. The main complaint is that earlier XB bulbs were not always well aligned.

Pros

Strong brightness for the price
Consistent alignment on current bulbs
Holds most of its intensity over time
Works with finicky Nissan and Infiniti ballasts

Cons

Past XB bulbs had alignment issues
Slightly faster dimming than Philips

About the Morimoto D2R XB 35W HID Bulbs 5000K

Morimoto LED Light Kit for Truck or SUV

Product Overview

No Comparison: When it comes to HID bulbs, Morimoto has always brought us the best in the aftermarket, and their latest examples are no exception. Sure we think the options from Philips and Osram are great too, but when it comes to bang for the buck - nothing compares to the Morimoto XB HID lineup. Compatible with 35W and 55W: The XB's will produce more lumens, last longer, project farther, and look better doing it. Luminosity: At the heart of the XB D2R bulbs is their perfectly aligned 100% Philips quartz glass that houses a capsule from APL-USA. Using high quality halide salts from German-supplier Messer; the bulbs produce nearly the same luminosity (intensity) as the amazing Osram CBI bulbs at 5500K. No, you're not seeing things here, but yes you will be seeing everything at night. In our Comparison to the big brands; Morimoto's XB capsule ran with the best of em! Long Life: The Austrian-sourced Plansee electrodes help keep the bulbs running brighter for longer. In comparison to a Philips bulb with 200 hours of use; the Morimoto will maintain 83% of it's intensity whereas the Philips bulb will retain 86%. Yeah, the Philips maintains a little longer, but this kind of longevity is unheard of in the aftermarket. We're impressed! Precise Alignment: Morimoto's Symmetry-Structure frame surrounds the base of the glass capsule keeping everything properly lined up, which is paramount when it comes to HID bulbs. In the past we all agreed that precision wasn't the strong suit for the XB bulbs... but the latest are indeed the greatest - and they're now consistently well-aligned, which is a good thing - because it means the output is also consistently bright and uniform throughout. [Applause] Reliability: Not that we recommend this for any HID bulb, but go ahead and fire it up 100 times in a row or even run it underwater for days at a time and the difference between the XB and any so called "competition" will be clear. These bulbs will even work with OEM Nissan/Infiniti (Matsushita/Panasonic) ballasts, which are notorious for compatibility problems on anything aftermarket. Compliance: The XB replacement HID bulbs are built to industry-standard specifications and meet/exceed all SAE, DOT, and ECE requirements, making them a perfect match for a replacement bulb or upgrade! They have been tested for reliability with all ballasts from Morimoto, Denso, Hella, Bosch, and Koito and passed with ease.
