Aloha,
Its been bugging me for a while, but I was wondering if there is anyway I could easily tell if my 2004 performance has HIDs. My headlight brightness do look like they are on a higher spectrum than normal lights, but not that very bright blue so commonly associated with HIDs. Any advice?

 

if my car had HIDS I would definitely get blood work done. there are many medications these days that will prevent it from going full blown and your car can live a long healthy life.

 

mmm. when you turn on the lights do they flicker a bit?
thats the hid bulb warming up.

 

Is this real? Someones just fkn with me right?

 

listen from one noob to another... search or theyll make fun of you.

Hold a cat in front of the headlights for 60 seconds. If the cat is blind you have HID.

uhh...no, not at all actually

 

Base models from 2003-2005 have halogen lights and they have the projector lens. And they look exactly like the HID lights from the outside.

 

for added bonus i do believe theres a small marking on the lens somehwere on the bottom corner that states was kind of bulb is used. atleast on the g there is

 

turn them on and check to see whether or not your light actually warms up and becomes brighter. If the light goes from a yellowish halogen to a brighter premium LED white-ish tint then you have them
