D3S xenon headlamp bulb, supplied with its igniter, for headlamp units originally built as bi-xenon or adaptive xenon assemblies.

D3S is a mercury-free high-intensity discharge type rated at 35W and operating at approximately 42V. It has no filament: light is produced by an arc struck across two electrodes inside a xenon-filled quartz capsule. Unlike bulb types with an igniter built into the base, D3S requires a separate igniter, which generates the high-voltage pulse that strikes the arc; the headlamp ballast then regulates the running current.

In a bi-xenon projector one discharge bulb provides both dipped and main beam, the change between the two being made by a moving shield within the unit, so this bulb is the light source for both functions. Halogen headlamp units have no ballast or igniter circuit and cannot use it.

Isolate the headlamp supply before working on a discharge unit - the igniter output is at several kilovolts. Do not touch the quartz capsule with bare fingers, and renew bulbs in pairs so that brightness and colour stay matched across the vehicle.

Frequently asked questions

What is the D3S headlamp bulb and what does it do?
The D3S is a mercury-free high-intensity discharge xenon bulb supplied with its igniter. It has no filament: light comes from an arc struck across two electrodes in a xenon-filled quartz capsule. The separate igniter generates the high-voltage pulse that strikes the arc.
Will the D3S bulb fit halogen headlamps?
No, the D3S only fits headlamp units originally built as bi-xenon or adaptive xenon assemblies. Halogen headlamps have no ballast or igniter circuit and can't run it, so confirm your car left the factory with xenon headlamps before ordering.
Does one D3S bulb cover both dipped and main beam?
Yes, in a bi-xenon projector one D3S bulb provides both dipped and main beam, with the change made by a moving shield inside the unit. So this single bulb is the light source for both functions on that headlamp.
Which models use the D3S bulb?
The D3S fits Discovery 4, Discovery Sport, Freelander 2, Range Rover L322 and L405, Range Rover Sport L320 and L494, and Evoque L538, all with bi-xenon or adaptive headlamps. Renew bulbs in pairs so brightness and colour stay matched across the car.
