I was under the impression that HID headlights were included in the premium package. I just picked up my coupe and no HIDs. I have everything else in the package just no head lights. Anyone else get the same thing or am I owed a set of head lights?

When i was first spec'ing out the coupes, i thought i remembered reading that HID was part of the TECH package, but after seeing the order code breakdown it showed it as part of Premo package.

You might be owed some headlights!

The premium package does indeed include Xenon Headlights (HID). You must have it. Maybe you have it but your expecting it to look different. Post up a pic of your car with the lights on.

Hard to believe they would forget to put this feature on the car.

Looking into the headlight I cant see a projector, just a standard halogen bulb with a reflector on it. I would expect to see a projector similar to that in my Audi, or my friends Z, but I see none.

There is no projector. This is a reflective housing and uses a D2R not D2S HID bulb.

A little rudamentary but... heres a sure-thing...Get on your knees and look into the bulb from like 10 feet out... If you look away and see.. you got screwed... if you look away and see the iranian president burning in a vat of oil... well then you do have HID and you can tell by the OUTPUT!

Turn on the headlights and fog lights. If they are same color, than you dont have HIDs. If they are different than you do have HIDs. I think you have it, its just not as impressive as it is on other cars. If headlights are white, you got it.
