PHID (Eyes of God) Bulb

[IAGeezer]

Is the bulb a D1R or D1S? I had a deer suicide on me and the bulb got broken(I am stupid lucky!). Housing is OK.

Thanks in advance,

I found this. Not much help though. I have the same lights and not exactly sure which one is in there. This page may indicate one may be 35 watt and the other 55 watt.

This is also warchilds page on these from a while ago. The ballast says "d1s/d1r" on it, So MAYBE they are both acceptable replacements.

Continuing to dig, I cannot find any difference between the D1s and the D1R. Interesting.

These are factory replacements for Escalades and some Volkswagons. They all seem to be 35w, Which is what we have anyway.

I should have a spare laying around if you are interested......

I believe those are the same bulbs used in the Hella Micro-D Xenon.

I remember GalaxyBlue and I had a contest between the Phillips and the Hella's at SWFog2010.

Thanks for the help guys.

Skooter - I'm interested. How do we do this?

Bungie - So, who won??

Well, we did it in the parking lot of the hotel, so I'll call it a wash. Down-range would be the true test. It's more about the reflector than the bulb.

 

[GalaxyBlue]

I agree. Both punch a hole in the darkness very well.

Let me see if I can find it.

The saga continues:

It seems that the D1R has a glare shield on it, and the base is notched differently than the D1S. I can't look at the good one right now as I'm TDY in Georgia at the moment.

Not unlike the Ignitor flip in Warchild's FJR Tech article that led to the group buy so long ago(when I bought mine). I am starting to believe that the PHID housing is marked D1S D1R because either one can be mounted!! Real CSI stuff here!

D1S has a symetrical pattern and in D1R the light emitted has a right shift pattern (for europreans, not UK). Get the D1S

 

[IAGeezer]

-Hence the S(Symmetrical) and R(Right). The education never stops.

Thanks Luis!

 

[GalaxyBlue]

Thanks! I learned something NEW today! The day is not a complete loss!

D1S for the WIN

Greetings,
Many years ago I installed the PHID on my FJR. The bike went through a flood, the PHIDs' surrvived and are now on my car but recently one of the lenses broke. I've been trying to locate the original lamp housing, (I don't the housings were made by Philips), but unable to locate anything. I wonder if you may have any thoughts on if these lamps still exist.

Hi,
I have the original Philips ballasts, wiring, and the D1S HID lamps, I'm in need of only the lamp housing, (actually two housings, one lense broken, one cracked).
