Our take on the Morimoto D2R: XB 5K HID Bulbs (Pair) (Universal)

The Morimoto D2R XB 5K is a pair of 5000K HID replacement bulbs for factory D2R headlights. They use a Philips quartz glass capsule with APL-USA internals, German halide salts and Austrian Plansee electrodes, and they run on either 35W or 55W ballasts. The 5000K color is a neutral white, slightly cooler than stock 4300K. At $84.95 at Fat Bob's Garage as of November 5, 2026, this is the only new price listed and the pair costs well under typical OEM-brand D2R bulbs.

About the Morimoto D2R: XB 5K HID Bulbs (Pair) (Universal)

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.

Questions and answers

Will these fit my car?
They fit headlights that take D2R bulbs with a P32D-3 connector. Check your owner's manual or the old bulb's base before ordering; D2S and D2H housings need different bulbs.
Do they work with 35W and 55W ballasts?
Yes. Morimoto rates the XB D2R for both 35W and 55W ballasts, so they work with stock and upgraded setups.
How do they compare with Osram or Philips?
Morimoto claims output close to Osram CBI at 5500K, and owners often find them close for less money. Philips and Osram bulbs generally hold brightness longer and last longer.
What is in the box?
A matched pair of Morimoto D2R XB 5000K HID bulbs. Ballasts are not included.
How long do they last?
Morimoto rates them at 2,500 hours. Output fades gradually over that life, so replace them as a pair when brightness drops.
