Which headlights does my car have?

I have a 2007 g35 coupe with the sport package and navigation. I dont know which headlights my car has, hid, bi-zenon or halogen. There not really that great for driving at night on the highway and i wanted something more powerful, how do i know which lights i have and which ones to get? Sorry for asking such a noob question, thanks!

06+ are hid... visibility in mine was great. Are your lenses oxidized? That hurts light output a lot

Are the headlight lenses yellowed at all? Or hazy? Cloudy like. They take d2s bulbs. I currently have diodedynamics 6k bulbs. They do the job just fine

He means the headlight housing itself. The plastic shell encasing the light. The lens is an internal thing you need not worry about right now

just upgrade your bulbs. your car has the best option when it comes to lights. DO NOT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD buy some aftermarket chit headlights. your projectors are now valued at thousands of dollars new IF they can even be found. upgrade your bulbs, the lens, and if youre really looking for the best performance/output, retrofit the projector.

I would avoid ebay bulbs. The lifespan won't be very long
