HID lighting

I know this will sound silly, but do all '08 G37S's come with HID lights, is that standard?

I know - I know - I know , but I just wanted to be sure. InfinitiUSA had '09 specs.

Now for another silly question: Are HID the same thing as Bi-Xeon or are the different animals?

Bi-xenon headlights are HID and vice versa.

Almost...

Bi-xenon headlights are a type of HID system, but not the other way around. Xenon headlights use a separate bulb for the high beam (typically halogen), but bi-xenon shares the same xenon bulb.

Exactly chase, the bi-xenon is an electro-mechanical flap that changes the beam pattern for high (allows more light). I design these (usually I do tail lamp design though).

I stand corrected. I basically just meant that our bi-xenon headlights WERE HID. Should have thought my way through my post. My bad.

the HIDs on the G seem a bit yellow, so change them to 6000K bulbs
