headlights
 
I was told I could not order HID headlights with the lane departure alert. My dealer now tells me that I have the HID's, not halogen. The sticker says "lane departure alert w/ intelligent high beams". Anybody have the answer.

Look at your car, are the headlights white (HID) or yellow (halogen)

The Intelligent High Beams are high beams that activate and dim based on oncoming lights, whether they the low beams are HID or not is another matter. Check as the other poster suggested. In my area you need UL to get the HID's but then you can't get LDW.

Just look at the back of the headlight housing to be sure you have HID headlights or not. See my post on this thread with photos of what the back of the HID headlights look like.

If you have HIDs, there should be a yellow warning sticker talking about high voltages on top of the headlight housing. The back of the housing should also be sealed by a gray plastic dome.

High beams on the ES are halogen bulbs. The "intelligent" part comes from sensors that detect oncoming traffic and turn off the high beams momentarily to stop blinding other drivers.
