How to tell if headlights are HID...
Hey everyone..I'm new here and I hope this isn't a silly question.
I am currently shopping for a G35 sedan (specifically, an 03-04), and I have found that it is hard to tell if the headlights are HID through photos. Unless the car ad specifically states that the headlights are HID, I really do not know what to look for by just the picture. Are there any dead giveaways?
Also, what packages were offered in 03-04 and what type of things should I look for. I have already found a couple G's in my price range, but I want to make sure I'm aware of all the options available before I pull the trigger - which should be very soon!
On a side note, I have been lurking the forum as a guest for a couple weeks now and it has already been very informative!
I appreciate the help...thanks in advance!

Correct me if im wrong but i dont they come out with HID's. There are many H4 globes that can give the same look in photos. HID's will charge and ocassionally flicker when driving and are extreamly bright. I had a set of 6000k on my V35 and i never onced had to use high beam.
If you new to buying a G then i would look for one with an Aero bodykit.

you can find all the info you need here

HID usually listed in EXTERIOR FEATURES.
I did not find it in 03,04 not even in 05. Not sure if it's just not listed or they actually did not have it.
05 Coupe does have it listed in there tho.

My 03 came with xenon lighting, leather, moon roof and Bose stereo but no reclining rear seats. Did the previous owner just pick those individual options? If they didn't care for the premium package I wonder why they got HID's in the first place.

I went and checked out the G today. Interestingly enough, the car has HIDs, dual climate, reclinable rear seats, but no heated seats. Not a big deal for me in Cali, so...I picked her up!
I am extremely happy so far. I will post a proper introduction once I am able to get some decent pics.
