D2S are for projectors and D2R are for relector housings. So if you are using a casper shield i am assuming you are using a relector housing opposed to a projector. So you would want a D2R bulb.

fyi only difference is a d2r bulb has a shield on it while the other one doesnt.

no offense but please read my post before you ask questions b/c you have now asked 2 more questions when i have already answered both them . READ DAMMNIT. sorry just ranting.

To explain further, the d2r bulb has this black part on it that prevents light from spreading in all directions, while the d2s does not have this b/c they belong in projectors, and projectors aim the light beam, so you want as much light possible in all directions.

d2s bulbs in a reflector housing will produce unwanted light.

Unwanted light - yellow light, basically light that is being refracted off the back of the housing.
