I have 2008MY 550i and I can confirm that they now have D1S bulbs. These bulbs have the igniter integrated with the bulb and are sealed. You cannot remove them. If you want to upgrade your OEM HID bulbs, you have to buy D1S or D1C bulbs -- can be found on ebay, etc.... I found this out the hard way 
That said, anyone wanna buy some philips utinon 6000k???

Thanks, bye!

I have D2S bulbs... 2004 E60 I'll just move head assemly out a little rather than removing entire bumper. Now do I need to disconnect the battery or I should be OK? There is no current going through when there is no ignition in the key hole correct?

so i replaced my burned out xenon d2s bulb with part number 63 217 160 806 but the new bulb seems to be slightly yellow in color to it's whiteness. original bulbs are bright white. why is that? i heard some where that i should give it two weeks for bulb to set in? is that true?

I have the E60, got the bulb out and a spare, but the spare does not have the frame to make it fit the car, I guess you have to get this of and fit to the new bulb, just can't get it off!
