Default Which headlights do I have D4S or H11

I have an 08 IS250, my passenger headlight works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. How do I know which bulbs I have without taking them out .? The D4S or the H11.
I want to change them both at the same time.

HID or regular halogen? D4s is the HID bulb and the H11 is the halogen bulb.

Ok... Understood, but how does one know which is in the car?
I'm assuming that I must know the difference to purchase a new one.
Unless it is marked on the bulb itself. I would not know the difference if I was holding each in my hand

If you had the bulb in hand it should be labeled on the bulb what it is.
