What year did the Q45's start coming with stock HID headlights? Was it 2000?

Yes, they do have a black background, or at least I know the 2000 one does

Starting in 1999 HID headlights are standard. Touring models have black backgrounds and the other models have silver backgrounds. I DK about the anniversary model in 2000 or 2001.

My 98 touring model has silver backgrounds; are they the wrong lights for my car? or did he they come out later?

You don't have HID unless yours were converted with 1999 or later units and ballast.

AE was 2000 only model and sice it was a variation of the t model had the black racoon headlights.
