The only OEM HID bulbs are D2S and D2R.

There are two bulbs attached in close proximity. One is HID and set to Low Beam. One is conventional set to High. The only negative is the cost. If your High beam craps out, you need to replace the entire light.

Dont s2000's have the same bulb set up as these. I ask because my friend has one and he has HID's but his high beams are a regular type of light.
They do have "high beam low beam" HID's they are called Bi-Xeon and work by using a tiny servo to remove the cutoff and blinding anybody near by and maybe incinerating small birds, lol, but seriously bi-xenon's are great if you dont have the room for a low beam and high beam projector!

There is no OEM bulb that looks like that

Here is the thing, My Protege 5 has 4 bulbs up fron to I don't have to **** around looking for High and Low. I simply change the Low Bulb to Hid and it's done.
It's a product that I have seen alot and it solves the High Low Issue.
The Blue are LED's in the High Beam as Running Lights..

I thought you meant a dual Hi/Low HID Bulb for replacing the stock one.
As you know, normally people lose the function of the High Beam when they switch to HID with a light system like on the cobalt. I was just trying to inform this forum that it is not required to loose the High Beam.

If your High beams are loose you should tighten them
If you LOSE your highbeams, then you need bi-xenon projectors.
HID's with no projector are the devil. I HATE HATE HATE them. 5000k+ kit are a joke made by someone painting normal HID bulbs blue and selling them to ricers and laughing as they actually make money off of the crap.
