Default New owner, looking for headlight helP!

Hello everybody! As title suggests I'm a new user here after purchasing my first ever Lexus (a 57 plate 220d) however I'm having a bit of an issue with my headlights...
One of my dip beams has recently gone so I'm looking for a replacement set however I don't know if I need a HID bulb or a halogen, I've got protector lenses but my dips are a little yellow but they also seem to 'warm up' by starting dim before brightening up after 5-10 seconds. Is anybody able to help me or is the only way to tell getting them out?

You can always look below the headlight if there is a ballast attached to it.

If they have to warm up before they get bright, then they are HIDs
