Turn your lights on and get out and look at them. Do they appear to be high intensity? Lol.

All HID systems will have a ballast wired into the lights, you can look for that and look at the bulb itself as HID bulbs are different from standard bulbs.

Your stock hids will have a white light, and the halogens will be yellow, unless you have some sort of silverstars or hyperwhite lights replaced. It's not hard to tell especially when the hids warm up from first turning on.
