Yes, but they are referred to as HID's, or High Intensity Discharge lamps. I am not sure if Xenon is a brand or what. But the two are one in the same.

Someone will correct me if I am wrong, I'm sure.

Default Aren't the cool?

Not real relavent to the issue, but I just wanted to state how damn cool it is to see them go from daytime running to actually turning on.

Xenon, BTW, is a gas that they use in the lights. I had them in my S2000 and they were great. I can't really tell if these are Xenon or not... I'll have to read the manual!

Low beams are HID. Very bright, white, and sharp cutoff. These are the best lights I have ever experienced. They are self leveling, and come on with sighificant drama. You can even hear a "click" from the engine compartment when they energize.

High beams seem more conventional with a standard yellow tinge. Together they really light up the road.
Fog lights only seem to ad a tiny bit to drivability.
With everything ablaze the car is impressive.
