White is 5400k anything below is slightly yellow and above blueish and above 8000k it goes violet.
4300k will give out most light.

I fitted the replacement 5000k bulbs. I can safely say they're on a par with my old S4, and they were super bright.

So is it definitely D2R as factory fit in bi-xenon lights? Just wondering as Etka suggests they're D2R but from what you read elsewhere most places state D2S and they ought not to be cross compatible due to different fittings?!
I'll pull one out to double check what's fitted now - I'm assuming they're original as they take an age to fire and reach full brightness and aren't terribly impressive at night as they're a bit too blue now. Can't rule out they've been swapped for the 'wrong' ones in the past though..... Seen some new old stock ones on ebay that are local to me so planning a trip to collect some  They have both types

Answered my own question - pulled a bulb this pm
   So d2r fitting confirmed and 85126 identifier for Philips bulbs. No manufacturing date unfortunately so can only assume they're original by how slow they are to settle to a consistent colour Need to see my local eBay specials to confirm they're the real deal....

Adrien, D2S/D2R have the same fittings, so cross-fitting is very possible. The D2S's I purchased had the same fittings as my original Phillips D2R's.

Yeah, from doing a bit of reading it's mainly the black bit around the glass and underneath it that's different to allow the bulb to be used in a non-projector lens unit as per Merc's original spec for the D2R. Using a D2S will just give more glare, most likely, as you've got light bouncing off parts of the reflector which aren't designed to do so.
My old bulb doesn't actually look in bad condition but they don't have the best light output....

I thought D2R was for Reflector style housings and D2S for Projector style.
So using D2S to replace D2R doesn't make sense - or if it does please explain.....
