FWIW, the invoice for my '04 C4S Cab says "P74 Xenon Headlamp Package 0.00"

Oh yeah, more importantly, CONGRATS AND ENJOY!

Our 2002 C2 has the halogens. I would have preferred the Xenons, but halogen bulbs are relatively cheap and if the light gets damaged in any way I'm not out $500+ for a replacement Litronic!

eBay. There's always a few for around $400 to $500 on at any given time.

Interesting... maybe that was just for the C4S then...

FWIW, I did replace my HID bulbs this year because they tend to lose intensity with age. Mine were almost 10 years old. The new OEM bulbs were about $70 each.
