Notice no extra glare on the d2s bulb like the top has, also the cutoff lines are much sharper. With a retrofit whether it be mini-h1 or D2S you are actually lighting the road properly and not glaring other drivers or adjusting the headlights low enough that they can't see further down the road. Once you've used them you can tell a noticeable difference
Just because you can tell the difference doesn't mean they are "nothing alike"
