    Hi guys,

    time to replace my head and taillights on my 2004 and I am a bit lost on which ones to get.

    What specs am I looking for pls? I have read some threads on here with TONS of information but (maybe I am blind) didn't find much on what exact specs I am looking for the main head and taillights. I only found the headlights need to be HID D2R, which narrows it down a bit but not much, and I unfortunatelly didn't find anything on the taillights. Can someone pls send the specs of the bulbs I am looking for or some links? Any help highly appreciated. Thx!

    First, you must ascertain whether you have halogen or high-intensity discharge (HID) lights. If you have HID lights, you should see a warning sticker – to beware of high voltage – somewhere near the light housings.

    If you do need HID lamps, what more do you need besides D2R?
