Default Need help with my 2011 GT

Today, American Muscle has the headlights I want on sale. My problem is that I don't know how to tell if I have factory HID or not. Any help would be appreciated

HIDs do not look like all the headlights made in the past 50 years.

If yours look like every other car you have owned, then you do not have HIDs. If you don't know how to tell if you have HIDs, then I highly recommend you look for another upgrade because you are on the fast track to making a bad purchase.

Pull out a headlight bulb and if it looks like a bulb, then you don't have HID's

Here's my 2011 with regular bulbs top and HIDs bottom. Pretty sure all 2010+ Mustangs with HIDs have projector headlights, so they have the round looking lenses like mine on the bottom.
