As TMX says, if you don't have the manual leveller switch then they are self levelling HID's. otherwise 98 would be (at a guess) projectors, easiest way to tell is of the lenses are clear then they are projectors, if they have thin lines cast into them they are standard.

The numbers quoted are definately projectors, (just checked mine :y) same part numbers. Also have a set of original headlights (I have a '96 model) and numbers are different.
Hope this helps. :)

I'll have a set of projectors coming up for sale soon. If you do get another set I would highly recommend collection (unless the seller knows how to pack them properly) as the slightest jolt in transit can shatter the adjusters.

They are standard bulbs in the projectors, it's the HID's that are expensive.

another good way is to have a look at the front of the car and if it has the black washer jets under the headlights chances are you'll have HID's :y
