Hm, so it seems i'm the only one who wants to prevent acrylic glass covered headlamps and acrylic lenses from getting yellow. This is why i only use bulbs with uv cut. Also i only use parts i get from a local parts store, that doesn't sell me cheapo china crap that looks like a quality brand product but is just a fake product. You will be impressed how much better an OEM bulb can be.

Replaced my D2S after 12 years, used Osram D2s. Noticeably better light.

Just my 2 cents…

For the record, there is no acrylic in these headlights and many, many, many people (myself included) have been running "cheapo China crap" HID bulbs for years and have no yellowing. The sun causes that, not bulbs.
