The Wagner D2S Xenon headlamp is aullatcy made by and badged Philips, which is the OEM lamp supplier for BMWs and many other European car brands. The OEM Philips xenons in my 2001 BMW X5 lasted over 10 years as I expect these to do as well. Most NAPA stores carry the Wagner lamp and aullatcy sell it for $10 less than the Amazon price. Of course, if a NAPA store is not convenient to your location, Amazon is only slightly more expensive. My BMW service advisor told me to replace both lamps after the first one failed in order to have the same light output on the left and the right sides. Xenons do dim somewhat over yeras of use and a matched pair not only looks better, but is moderately brighter than a new one on one side and an old one on the other. On my X5 it was necessary to remove three Torx 15 screws holding the lamp cover on the rear of the headlight assembly in order to access the lamp. Once the housing is pulled back, the high voltage cable comes off with a quarter twist as does the locking ring holding the lamp in place. It took me less than 15 minutes to change each one. I also had a mobile serviceman come to my house to polish the X5’s two front headlight assemblies which had become quite hazey over the years. It cost about $125, but both of them look and feel brand new. With the new Xenon lamps installed, the headlights are literally back to new condition even though the car has almost 170K miles on it.
