The Maybach 62 uses an H7 bulb size for high beam headlights and a D2S bulb size for low beam headlights. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 2003 to 2012 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 Maybach 62 uses the H7 bulb for the high beam headlight across all model years from 2003-2012. The H7 is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V and 55W, fitted with a PX26d base, and certified under ECE standards for use in Europe, worldwide markets, the United States, and Japan.
The low beam headlight on the Maybach 62 uses the D2S bulb across all model years from 2003-2012. The D2S is a high-intensity discharge (HID) xenon bulb rated at 85V and 35W, fitted with a P32d-2 base.
The D2S bulb is designed exclusively for projector-type headlight housings. It is not compatible with reflector-type housings, which is a critical fitment distinction when sourcing a replacement.
Unlike the H7 halogen bulb, the D2S requires an external ignitor to initiate the electrical arc that produces light. The ignitor is a separate component from the ballast and must be present in the housing circuit for the bulb to function.
The H7 and D2S bulbs serve distinct functions within the same headlight system. The halogen H7 handles high beam output, while the xenon D2S handles low beam output, meaning the two bulb types are not interchangeable with each other within this vehicle.
The D2S operates at 85V, which is significantly higher than the 12V supply used by the H7. This voltage difference reflects the arc-discharge operating principle of HID technology, which requires a high-voltage pulse to strike the arc between the bulb's electrodes.
Despite the D2S drawing only 35W compared to the H7's 55W, HID technology produces substantially greater luminous output per watt, which accounts for its use in the low beam position where light distribution precision is prioritized.
Both the H7 and D2S carry ECE certification, meaning both bulb types conform to the same international regulatory framework governing photometric output, beam pattern, and safety standards across European and worldwide markets.
