When I bought my c43 I did notice the lights look different , at first I thought they were HID lights but I question it as one looks blue and the other looks kinda purple . If they are a bulb type what type are they ? Like a H7 ? And if so what is the best light I can get around the 6000k range ...? Is there a way I can look to see if they are HID factory ? Thanks

D2R is the xenon bulb socket
Purple light on bulb is a hint bulb is worn and on it's way to die
You should change them both

All c43's didn't have xenon, cars with headlight wipers had zenons

high beam has H7 bulbs

I think 4300K is original from factory, 5000K is ideal for white light

Correct. Not all C43's had HID. The bulbs for the non is a H7.

There are some HID H7 bulbs out there, just gotta look. I believe Sylvania makes some.

When you turn on your lights, there should be a slight delay with HIDs to turn on. That is because the balast needed to fire the bulb up.

Ok so since my car has the wipers I have to buy dr2 type bulbs ? I do have that slight delay when turning on the lights.
