Default Low beam headlight

My headlight is out, it is the low beam bulb.
Does anybody know which bulb it is? Is it a normal one or a HID Xenon one.

My car is 2004 and I'm pretty sure is the touring trim since it has leather heated seats and bose, but no bremo brakes.

If they flicker as they turn on they are HID's right?

I have no experience with xenon bulbs, but yes, hids take a lil' while to warm up to brighten.

HIDs have to build up, so when you turn them on, you only see a little lights...then its gradually gets brighter and brighter.
