Default Do I have HID or halogen lights?

2005 C230 sedan w/auto transmission. I don't have the car with me right now but I'm trying to find out if there's a way to know if it has the HID lights or regular halogen lights? What's a quick way to know?

Hello - enter your car's vin # into a decoder, like the link below. It'll tell you what options it came with.

Hey so I'm still confused on if I have HID lights or not. Here are the specs on my car. The only thing I can find on headlights with my car is: 614BI-XENON HEADLAMPS FOR RIGHT-HAND TRAFFIC

I'm trying to buy an aftermarket set of headlights and the pair I want say not compatible with cars that came with HID.

Xenon lights are HIDs.
