Hi there dipped and main are the same bulb. It’s just a shutter that goes up and down to shield a portion of the light. The xenon replacement is just a D3S (replace both). The painful bit is having to remove the headlight to fit them. You can go down the road up upgrading to LED’s which you can find more info on in here by using the search function. Good luck.

Replaced my D3S bulbs with LED's and they are a vast improvement. As said Headlights need to be removed bit of a faf but doable without removing the bumper. Lots of DIY vids on YouTube.

Beam pattern is exactly the same, passes the MOT's.

Which LEDs did you use? Is it a "friendly" MOT, I assumed the look for LEDs now fail cars based on simply having LEDs when they shouldn't
