Unless your headlight were different, while there was plenty of room inside the housing and enough room for a 3" lens, unfortunately there is no extra room at the rear for the square igniter plug on the back of the mini DS2 4.0
I have mini 7.0 in 2 of my cars and they perform well. I have a friend who has used everything, inclding the mini Ds2, and lots of OEM rip-out projectors, he swears bi the profile bi-lens, bi-led projectors. I was on the fence, but ended up going with what i knew worked. I believe the Bi-led would fit.

Sorry for picture bombing your thread lol. Here is the stock "spec-d" light vs the mini h1 7.0 in my other car (I haven't been able to photograph the yukons, but there are the same output)
I tried to match the exposure on both pictures

Ah, I see now.

I retro fitted an OEM aftermarket style headlight. You did the spec-D. That maybe why I was kinda confused why the D2S would not fit.

In my opinion, LED based SINGLE projector is crap. The hot spot isn't correct. I have never seen a single style LED projector outshine a HID based peojector. Now when it comes to OEM, they went with the multiple LED projectors. I sat behind a new Acura MDX and stunned by the output of the 10 little projectors vs my mini H1(I know, not a great comparison) each little projector doing its thang.....
