Slight clarification.... you can put an HID KIT straight in... but you can't just take incandescent lamps out and replace them with HID lamps - the electonics are very different. (As are the voltages involved).

If you have factory fit HID/Xenon lighting you'll also have headlamp washers. When you turn the lights on the seem to immediately pulse bright then go dim and quickly return to bright white as the warm up. You should also notice a bunch of warning stickers about the high voltage lights.
If you think you have AFL (Adaptive Forward Lighting) try moving the steering from lock to lock one evening with the lights on and see if the light pattern moves too.
If you don't have headlamp washers and the beam pattern seems to be static, just take the rubber cover off the rear of one of the headlamps and have a look at the lamp itself. If you take a lamp out (avoid touching the glass) look on the metal base - H7 is a normal Halogen incandescent lamp, X7 is a Xenon filled incandescent lamp.

Should give you a better idea.
