Is the WAGNER D2S the same as the D2R?
The short answer is NO.
The D2S is designed for optimum performance in a projection or ellipsoidal optical unit.
The D2R is produced with added optical shielding and is designed for reflection optics or complex shape reflectors.

Thanks, Guys! One more question.....
It looks ike I need to disassemble the light housing from the vehicle to replace these lights...How do I do that? I assume that U have to take the grill off, etc. Or do U guys know of a different way?
Thanks Again,
Phil

Kris & Ekaxel-
Which one is right? Kris' service manual shows it to be D2R. Ekaxel says it should be D2S. The 2005 and 2006 Owners Manuals lists the D2S as the correct bulb. The 2005 Service Manual also lists the D2S.
It looks like the winner is.... D2S.

We are going to have to be a lot more careful before we "hurt" somebody.
The Murano has changed in many small ways since it was introduced.
We need to make sure we know WHAT Murano we are advising on.
Not to be harsh, sincerely, but I have seen this happen a couple of times now.
Sooner or later somebody is going to spend some money or waste a lot of time on the wrong repair.
We need to qualify up front WHAT Murano people have, before we charge out there as the voice of authority.
It would sure make it easier if folks would put the pertinent info in their sig.

Kris,
The more important question is what is the model year that PB125 is driving.
Homer,
You hit the nail right on the head. It would make it a bit easier if all members included the year and model in their signature. Their location would also help, especially when someone asks about winter tires. Are they in New Jersey with 3" snow storms or Michigan with notorious lake-effect snow storms?

Did some research on the net. This is what I found:
"Info on HID-D2R and HID-D2S
Replacement Bulbs
D2R bulbs were originally designed for
Mercedes-Benz. Consequently, D2R
bulbs and D2S bulbs (used initially by
BMW) feature subtle differences at the
base of the bulb for fitment purposes.
The differences primarily consist of a
cut-out and notch for fastening purposes
being located differently. In Addition to
the base varying slightly, D2R bulbs are
easily distinguished by ceramic paint
along the sides of the capsule.
It seems that the theory projector/reflector does not hold the water....unless somebody got it wrong again....

Joe,
I think you are right. I have also found this on the net:
MERCEDES BENZ CLK headlight and fog light light bulbs upgrade
| Make & Model | Year | Headlight Low Beam
MERCEDES BENZ CLK 00-02 H7
MERCEDES BENZ CLK 00-02 HID D2R
MERCEDES BENZ CLK 03-05 HID D2S
MERCEDES BENZ CLK 03-05 H7
MERCEDES BENZ CLK 98-99 HID D2R
MERCEDES BENZ CLK320 98-99 H7
MERCEDES BENZ CLK430 99 H7
MERCEDES BENZ CLK430 99 HID D2R
It seems to me that the D2R was the older design consequently superseded by D2S.

Go here for another input: You may have to paste it in.
