Default First year for HIDs?

Alright I just pulled my S2000 into the garage from the dealership where I bought it used and I am a little confused about the headlights....They sound and look like HIDs but the dealer didn't say it had been converted and I was pretty sure the 2001 didn't come with HID...I have never seen what a conversion looks like under the hood, could someone tell me what to look for to see if the previous owner has put in HIDs...probably a NOOB question but I have only been an S2000 owner for about 3 hours...

One of my friends that is "a car guy" said the same thing about my car. I told him no all S's came with HID's. He continued to dispute this.

He has no car credability with me anymore.

all s2ks come with HIDs, maybe the guy thought the previous owner changed the HID bulbs.
