PHILIPS42302C1 D3S Standard Xenon HID Headlight Bulb, 1 Pack

Fits perfect and works great on my 2009 BMW 328i (E90). I just wish BMW didn’t make it such an extreme pain is the a$$ to access the headlight housing and install it (i.e. remove the front wheel and liner).

I can't believe how difficult it has become to replace a bulb. That being said, research your vehicle for installation help.My vehicle had an access panel in the wheel well. Most important is not to get finger oils or and other dirt or grease on the glass. That will cause the bulb to overheat and become unusable in a short time. This was a great price compared to local parts stores, and it came carefully packed. My recommendation is to order it separately, so it does not get damaged in transit with other items.

Worked perfectly plug and play!

Work just fine

Purchased these instead of the lights at AutoZone, saved almost $100 ordering online. Always look for car lights online haha :)

Item shipped well packaed and on time. Authentic packaging ans item. this fit perfectly in my e46 coupe, restored the brightness my older OEM bulbs had lost over the years. Working perfect so far!

This review is for Philips D2R Standard Authentic Xenon HID Headlight Bulb, 1 Pack. I had bougthen this bulb back in 2020 when the driver side headlight on my Infiniti G35 started flickering and finally went out a few months later. I wanted an authentic HID bulb for my car so I chose this Philips D2R C1 bulb because it has a Certificate of Authentication (CoA) affixed to the bottom of the box that I could verify on their website. Mine was authentic so that was a relief. I wasn’t sure if the new light would match my other light because it was “85126” and not “85126+” like the old bulb but I went ahead and installed it anyway. Replacing the headlight on the Infiniti G35 isn’t as difficult as many YouTubers make it out to be. There are even videos with people saying to take out the tyres!? Some say removing the tyres is not necessary but then they turn the tyres inwards, which is actually counterintuitive to me. I turned my tyres outward as far as it would go and it was wide open for me to reach in and do what I had to do. It took about 30 minutes to get the job done. The trick is to remember how everything fits in originally and use markers or photos to notate, if necessary. Another trick is to put the new bulb directly into the housing, lock it in place, and then attach the power connector. I had a difficult time when I attached the new bulb to the power connector first and then tried to lock them into position afterwards. Don’t do that! Just stick the new bulb into the slot, lock it in place with the clamp and then connect the power. Much easier doing it this way! Also, wear gloves to prevent touching the bulb. When I was done, the new light matched perfectly to the original passenger side headlight so I was really happy with it. Overall, perfect OEM headlight. It’s made in Germany and not China. I would recommend buying directly from Amazon and not a third party seller to ensure that you get an authentic Philips headlight. My original headlight lasted almost 10 years so I'm hoping that this one will last as long. I’d give it a 5.0/5.0 - 08/07/2023.

Ordered two and one just died after five years of using the light for less than an hour a night. Hopefully, the other won't die on me anytime soon.
