Ummm, actually, the bulb type of the headlight assy. is printed on the lens. If you look at the front of your car you will see "H7" clearly molded into the plastic in front of each light. That being said, the projector lamps make it super easy to do the HID swap out because it still looks OEM. Besides, a car this cool is SUPPOSED TO have HID lamps, right?

Now, cars that use H4 or 9006 lamps are another story. Put HID in those and you'll blind everyone because of the amount or reflected light...
