There are just 2 types of headlight fitted to the facelift Mark 2 car:

A) Standard Halogen lamps with Projector Lenses, or

B) Xenon HID gas discharge lamps.

The latter were an optional extra, for your car, and the way to check is easy:

1) Look at the headlamp lens, if it has the words "Xenon Technology" written inside the glass then they are True Gas Discharge HID Xenon Headlamps, the non Xenon Projector type look exactly the same, but no writing.



Additionally, take a look inside at your Light Switch Module Switchpack.

If your car has True Xenon Headlamps, you won't have a dial to the right for manual leveling. Part of the spec of the Xenon HID's is that they are self leveling.



If however your switchpack does have a knob to manually adjust the headlamp level like this picture, then you only have standard Halogen headlamps (which may or may not have Projector lenses that conatin Blue Vision H7 bulbs).



Hope that helps
