Passenger Headlight HID or NOT

Hello!

How do I know what kind of headlight I have on my 2004 rx330? HID or not? I am trying to do this myself but not very experienced on this car. The passenger side looks difficult to get to. Do I have to take the hold headlight out to change both bulbs and dry out the water inside? How difficult to accomplish for the inexperienced?

I am sure this has been answered but I couldn't find anything on determining which type of headlight I have.

Thank you in advance!

Andrew

You could post a pic or if that's too difficult the HID always have washers on the bumper cover, little squares just below the headlight.

becareful... incase you didnt know HID's have very high voltage ballasts. and dont touch the bulb when replacing. the oil from you finger is enough to make the bulb burn out prematurely..
