Thumbs up how to tell what headlight i have

My car was hit by hail and damaged my headlights. (pic #1) I was wanting to replace them with some out on ebay. see attached BLACK headlight (pic #5 )or simular
how do i tell what I have on my 2004 Coupe.?

I do have a ballast (square thing that hangs from the light) (pic #3) yes im a novice. it looks like the attached pic

my dealer parts guy said my VIN says i have halogen. But if i have the ballast would it not be HID xenon.?

I attached my headlights (pic #1)and the lable that was on the top of the rubber seal info (pic #2)

can anyone help me determine what i need to look for to get them replaced? OF course I dont want to pay dealer prices. and would like to get the already blacked out headlight

thanks (newbee)


WELL I GOT MY ANSWER after 3 calls to the dealer and giving my vin 3 times I kept saying i have a ballast how can i have Halogen for i have the ballast they finally said i have XENON and D2r bulbs see attached (pic #3%4)

Is that overlays in your headlights? (i know off topic). If so, do you have any other shots of the front of your car/headlights? Im considering getting those exact overlays and you have the same color car as me so im trying to see how it would look
