How do you know if you have xenon or halogen headlights?
You have halogen lights. Yes the H7 is for a halogen bulb. e39 xenon bulbs are D2S connections and are powered by ballasts (which look like small 3 x 4 in. metal boxes mounted on the back of the headlight housings). Barely see still means either with bad lenses. Blue light is xenon, yellow is halogen.
Which is better xenon HID or halogen light?

How do you put a xenon light on a car?
They buy a set with cables, xenon light sources, and ballast, remove the halogen bulb from the headlamp, saw a hole in the cover cap, insert the xenon bulb into the reflector, connect the electronic ballast with the vehicle electrical system, and the xenon headlight is finished. But beware!
How did the xenon light bulb get its name?
They have a thin tungsten filament within their glass envelope, and when electricity flows through it, it heats up until the filament glows white hot and produces light. Xenon and halogen lamps get their names from the kinds of gases added within the light bulb’s glass envelope.

Can a XF be a halogen light bulb?
I’ve never seen an XF without Xenons, and that certainly looks like Xenon to me, but could of course also be halogen bulbs with a lens in front, like some cars have… Any advice would be much appreciated.
