Are you referring to High Beam or Low Beam ? Can you add a photo, as there are more than one type of bulb fitted. High Beam Halogen (H4, 60w/55w) or Discharge (HB3, 60w). Low Beam With AFS D2R, 35W Without AFS D2S, 51W I hope this is a helpful starting point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a D2S 35watt and the light was more a warm colour instead of the white colour of the light on the other side. I have checked and I have a AFS. Thanks for you help Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Harrison Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 There are some good manuals on ebay. If you can't find one there Google your model and one should come up...Obvious, but state UK version. The one I have has a picture of my Vellfire on the front. These tell you most things you need to know about your Alphard. John Harrison. 2008 2.4 AH20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipsyp Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 I believe the non AFS (reflector type) are D2R (the R for reflector). The AFS are projectors so use D2S. There are D3 and D4 variants, but these are non mercury bulbs, and require less energy to fire up which I suspect wouldn't be compatible with/damage the ballasts on the earlier cars (AH10 at least).

Chris.ac Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 (edited) Didn't the 10 series mark the lamp housing like 20 series? Check if you have a projector housing, as it would be D2S. D2R has a small shield on the bulb to prevent light being emitted forward, as it uses a reflector housing. If not sure, attach photo of headlamp and we will tell you. On 20 series, it's easy as the bulb is printed on top Example Edited December 29, 2023 by Chris.ac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
