Hello there!

A friend of mine bought some second hand D1S xenon lamps, and some new phillips xenon bulbs.
These are D1S-type.

Upon fitting the bulb we encountered a problem.... How to fasten the bulb??

Please see photos attached below.
Are we missing some part here? What to do?

Thanks for any tip and advice!!

r u sure u use D1S and not D2S? U can reuse the stock retaining clip from the old bulb.

If you do need the clip for it, then u need this part # 6: 63117162087




# 2 and # 3 is for 2003 to 2004 models which is a D2S bulb. Late built 2004 and up uses D1S.

Thanks a lot!

Looks like we are missing that clip indeed!

But now, with the part number, it will not missed for much longer ;-)
