D1 vs D2 headlights
Does anyone know if there is a difference between D1 and the 99-02 D2 headlights? Other than the internal black surround? Did they make any pattern or beam improvements to them? I was looking at HIDxtra's conversion which is very reasonably priced, but thought,hey if I'm gonna do that, maybe upgrade the housing as well, if the D2's are better. Thanks

I was looking at the HIDExtra.com h4 hi/low and the bi-xenon, in the 5000 or 6000k. the bi-xenon kit is about $30 more. But the hi/low kit wasn't impressive because the high beam is a halogen bulb, not an HID, where the bi-xenon is an HID for high and low beams. I think it'd be worth the 30 bucks extra.
Now I assume by saying diffrent housings, it wouldn't be a direct fit? It was an idea, but I think the HID conversion would be impressive enough by itself.

The "telescopic" bi-xenon actually uses a small motor to pull the bulb back in the base to change to the high beam. It's actually a pretty cool setup that is very effective. The bi-xenon does not actually get any brighter like a normal halogen does on high beam, it just changes the beam to project the light further out.

AK Rover, it's a "solenoid coil" type actuation, not motorized. I use them in my motorcycles and I am very tempting to install them into my Disco as well, in which I currently burn PIAA 80/80W Star White powersport bulbs.
