I have a question regarding this post
Aren't dipped beams on facelift CD models xenons???

They aren't HID (if that's what you mean) on my CD. I think only elite has HID. That said, AFAIK these bulbs use Xenon gas instead of Halogen which makes them brighter but not the same as HID.

duh! used to type faster before and yes elite, mv6 and cdx as jimbob said
