Turn on the lights and stare into them. If you go blind before 1 minute, you have HID's.
...

HID's also have a warm up period before they get to 100% brightness when they first turn on.

You take the bulb out of the car and look at the base.

To save money. And to get people to pay more for a car that has them.
