Easier than trying to guess by looks-

Click through the options using the multi-selector and see if there's an option for AFS ON/OFF

if there is you have HIDs, otherwise, not.

The switch is the one lower left of the steering that kinda looks like:

You have HIDs then AFS is the adaptive headlight system that is part of the factory HIDs on all 06-10 2IS models.

Sadly the feature is being removed for 2011 so the AFS check will no longer be the easy way to know if a 2IS has HIDs going forward

Totally forgot about the HKS head gasket. I always wanted one of those supras to drop a 1JZ into.
