HID replacement bulb question
Just a quick question...
Are both D4S bulbs and D4C bulbs compatible for the IS250?
I ordered D4S from XenonDepot and they sent me the D4C bulbs.
Please advise - thanks!

So I went to change out the bulbs and the passenger side first - no problems but this side was working fine.
Went to change the bulb that wasn't working and when I removed the bulb I could smell burnt carbon... so upon further inspection it seems that the bulb had arc'd with the D4S connector and the pins have been melted.
So... I believe the car is still under warranty, I would assume this would be covered?
If not then is there somewhere I can just replace the connector and not the entire wiring harness? I had it apart tonight - not that difficult to change on my own f I can get the parts.
Has anyone had this happen?
Thx in advance.

Just a note here - this happened with the stock bulb.
the drivers side light went out and i figured it was the bulb so I ordered the XD bulb. upon installation i realized it was the stock bulb the arc'd with the connector and now the contacts in the connector have burnt out.
I am calling the dealer...

Our local dealer told us the bulbs were not covered and they would charge us the labour to check to see if it was the bulb or a warranty.
Figured i would check myself to save the $$$
I have an appt next week at a different dealer so all should be good
