I just asked this question:
"Hello. Just a friendly note that from your picture, these aren't the HID Xenon bulbs that are the upgrade or standard spec on higher models - they are just the standard units, possibly with brighter bulbs in them. I think it might be worth mentioning that, as it's slightly misleading from your description/photos! John"2020 SDV6 D5 HSE, Carpathian Grey +

Alternatively ......... " Hello , wrong lights , you "
I have asked for a straight yes or no if these are xenons, pointing out the part numbers are halogens and got this reply:
they will be supplied with zenon bulbs fitted
cheers

Thanks for the email. The HID xenon unit - the bright white effect is only available using the HID Xenon units. You can't add this option to your units. They are completely different units - different lenses, different lamps, different mirrors.
Hope that helps - not wishing to be awkward - know a decent amount about the D3, and am currently after a set for a friend.
If it was me, I'd just add a line, stating that they aren't (and won't ever be) genuine HID units - that should clear it up

May be John, but the guy is selling other Xenon head lights for other cars (although he hasn't sold much looking at his feedback), so you would have thought he would know what he is selling and that Xenon bulbs are not compatible with halogen units.
