Default HID differentiation??

Does the HID only comes with 2 size? D2R and D2S? other than the size, then it's more to deal with the color right? 4100k, 6000k and 8000k right?

No. D2S and D2R are not sizes. They are Type of bulbs. D2R for reflector. and D2S for projector. HID's come in all different size for almost every signle car. only one that does not have an HID kit is H3. SOME company makeHID for H3 but it doesn't work to well. reason being a H3 bulb filiment is perpendiclar to the bulb which means the light come stragiht forward instead of to the side like ALL other halogen bulb.(i attached a pic of H3).

4100k is going to be the brightest and a bit yellowish at times

6000k is most popular but not as bright as 4100k but more blue and looks more nice

8000k don't bother.

main concern should be brand name though. go for hella, or phillips if you can
