New ballasts, and bulbs and you're set.

Find some RX330 Denso Slims, and just splice them into your D4S power ground wires and you're done.

There is a notch on your housing that is at 9 O'clock for the D4S, and the D2S has the same not at 2 O'clock so either grind the notch off or make a cut on the D2S at the 9 position... that way you can just drop in the bulbs and call it a day.

I would get a pair of new OEM bulbs, and a DDM 55W ballast, and with that combo you will get around 4500-4900lm of light out of each bulb, OEM is 3200lm

If you want OEM bulbs, I have a few for sale PM me.
