The Ferrari 458 Italia high beam and low beam headlight bulbs both utilize a D1S bulb size. The replacement chart covers 2010 to 2015 production years with corresponding bulb size specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The D1S bulb is the sole bulb type specified across all headlight positions for the Ferrari 458 Italia, covering both high beam and low beam functions for the 2010-2015 model years.
D1S is a High-Intensity Discharge (HID) xenon bulb, meaning it produces light by passing an electrical arc through xenon gas rather than heating a filament. It operates at 85 volts and 35 watts.
The D1S bulb features a PK32d-2 base with an integral ignitor built directly into the bulb body. This built-in ignitor distinguishes it from the D2S type, which requires a separate external ignitor unit.
D1S bulbs are designed exclusively for projector-type headlight housings, which use a lens and reflector system to focus and shape the light output. They are not compatible with reflector-style housings.
The D1S standard falls under ECE (Economic Commission for Europe) regulation, giving it acceptance across European and worldwide markets.
Because the Ferrari 458 Italia uses D1S for both high and low beam functions, the vehicle relies on a single bulb type to serve what are traditionally two separate lighting roles, a configuration made possible by the projector housing design.
The D1S and D1R bulbs share the same PK32d-2 base and electrical characteristics, but they are not interchangeable. The D1R variant includes an internal shield for reflector housings, while the D1S is intended strictly for projector housings as specified here.
