    When you lift the hood and look at the back of the head lights the standard halogen bulb head lights have a circular cover behind the bulbs that needs to be unscrewed to replace the bulbs, the Xenon HID lamps have a ballast transformer and decal saying Caution High Voltage engine side of the headlights.
