The headlights are halogen. I think there's been some talk in these forums about the possibility of HID replacement units, but I haven't been paying attention since I personally hate being on the receiving end of HID lights at night and don't feel any real need to do that to anyone else.

The rectangular cover to the right of the hand brake is the cup holder. Press on it, and it flips up. Note that this is the one and only cup holder in the car. Having only one cup holder is right up there with not being able to see the radio display during the day at the top the (very) short list of things that annoy me about the Crossfire.

As for leasing, that's really just a personal financial decision. I don't think there's anything about the Crossfire that makes it any different from any other car in terms of whether to lease or buy.

Cheers,

Greg
