is there a way to tell if you have HID headlights just from looking at the front of the car without the lights on? I bought a 2010 Lexus IS 250 and cant tell which i have... I know that sounds dumb but i know nothing about cars...

Turn the car on. To the left of the steering column, there is a button that looks like this <O>. Press the arrows to scroll thru the options. If you see "AFS ON/OFF" as an option, the car has HIDs.

Of course, if you bought it new, couldn't you just look @ the window sticker?

If you are going to start opening the hood, then do this--it will be easier:
Turn the car on. To the left of the steering column, there is a button that looks like this <O>. Press the arrows to scroll thru the options. If you see "AFS ON/OFF" as an option, the car has HIDs.

I never understand when people try to tell folks to look under the car, or try and "listen" for an HID noise, or judge the color of the lights...all much more complex solutions than the above.

You Know I had no idea How active those headlights were until I drove in some high mist/ fog last night and i could see the light beam turning with every little turn of the steering wheel. It was very cool!

I am sure i have the HID model (lux package), now does anyone knows where to buy the Headlights that fits this model, i just purchased an '09 IS250 and the headlights are disgustingly yellow as well as fog lights. Every vendor online ive checked sells for the models with regular halogens lights, they all have disclaimers advising it does not fit my model.
Any advise as to where buy them will be greatly appreciated,
Thank you in advance guys.
