Are these 3800K or 5000K?

The listing shows both a 3800K golden-yellow color and a 5000K color temperature. Confirm the exact color with the store before buying, since the two look clearly different on the road.

Will these fit my car?

They fit housings that take D2S bulbs with a P32D-2 connector. Check your owner's manual or current bulb before ordering; D2R and D1S cars need different bulbs.

Do I need new ballasts?

No. These are 35W D2S bulbs and run on stock D2S ballasts. If your car uses 55W or D1S/D3S systems, they will not work.

How do they compare with Osram or Philips?

They cost much less and Morimoto claims similar intensity to Osram CBI. Philips and Osram are OEM suppliers and generally hold output longer, so the Morimoto is the value pick.

Two bulbs, one pair. No ballasts, wiring or adapters are included.

When is the best time to buy?

At $73.00 at Garage And Fab as of November 5, 2026, the pair is already near the bottom of its range. Watch for seasonal lighting sales for small further drops.

About the Morimoto D2S XB 3800K 35w HID Bulbs - Pair

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. Available in versions designed specifically for either 35W or 50W: The XB's will produce more lumens, last longer, project farther, and look better doing it. luminosity: At the heart of the XB D2S 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. 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.
