DR2 HIDs(Reflector type HIDs) or might be the DRS. But, I'm sure its the DR2 reflector type HIDs. Then you need to get some casper shield so it has a nice cut off like them S2Ks & BMWs for better night vision.

either get what nus dogg said, or you can get regular HID's but you need to break open the headlight assembly, take the reflector out, and retro fit a projector lens from another car in it.

Just because it's a reflector type HID does not mean you will have a reflector type cut off.

And the casper shield isn't going to give you a S2k/BMW result.

I had PnP HID's in the projector OEM fogs and went to an S2000. The results are so ridiculously different. Putting a HID in a incandescent reflector is NOT going to give you good results.

tama and muffinman are right. PnP kits are not proper in any vehicle! this means there is no "proper HID's" for our cars. if you want HID's then buy a decent set of aftermarket HID headlights (PnP) then retrofit some S2K or BMW projectors in there like tama said.
