On Australian models the HID versions have a small headlight washer panel in the bumper just below the headlights.

Check if you need to polish the plastic lens first. My lens assembly had a yellow color to it. Once I cleaned and polished it, the light is more white colored. Its still a little bit towards the yellowish side for the color, but a lot better after the polishing job. I happy with the results and won't need to change the bulb.

I just got the car recently. I found out it had HID light so I won't need to upgrade. I noticed a little humming noise next to each light when its on. HID also takes a few seconds to warm up so its another way to tell for someone. I checked the original window sticker that was in the package and was surprised they charged $815 for the HID light upgrade. The only thing I changed is to switch the steering wheel buttons to the ES350 2010 models (hard plastic), add a front and rear dashcam and added a navigation bypass so I can enter address without stopping the car. That navigation lock was the most annoying feature on the Lexus vehicles. Too bad they took the option out of the firmware instead of having to add an aftermarket harness and switch.

The picture below shows the left side polished and the right side wasn't polished yet. I just polish it with a tube of Flitz and a micro fiber cloth. It was only a 15 minute job.

Another tell tale sign is HID's have a Yellow High Voltage Shock sticker. Panels need to be off to see this though.
That said, the hum test is valid if your hearing is good.
