If you have the plastic 'bumps' under the lights, you have Aliens (lurking, just waiting for the right moment to pounce...)
If you have Aliens, you have Xenons
To double check:
get someone to sit in the car with the ignition on.
Turn on the lights to dipped beam
Now. Walk round to the front of the car and kneel down by the number plate, facing the car
Tell the person in the driver seat to pull (and hold) the windscreen wash stalk.
The wiper will move, and jets will hit the windscreen - don't worry, you shouldn't get wet (from
them 
)
After a few seconds, the Aliens will pop out from behind their plastic covers
They will then spray the headlights with water.
You can now conclude that you do indeed have Aliens, and therefore Xenons.
All you need now is a towel
Please note - you obviously do not
have to get wet to run this experiment, but it's a good laugh and great for making people jump
