Fake HID = silver/blue coated lightbulb.
Real HID = Xenon charged bulb with ignitor and ballast. Less Kelvin more LUM.

I also owned a car with real HID although projectorless.... it was a 03 Acura CL type S, just because its not a projector set up does not mean its not a true HID.... all of the early HID cars did not run projectors.

I have a HID kit in my Corvette.... the difference from the stock lights (which royally sucked by the way) is insane.... I have a 8000K set up, very bright with a bit of blue color to the light. Will most likely be looking into a similar kit for the H2 shortly
