Cracked headlight - Are these Xenon, Halogen, or something else?
When resurfacing my yellowed headlights, I noticed that the drivers side light was cracked. Can anyone tell me if these are the Xenon headlights, or Halogen, or some other type?
The resurfacing turned out "ok", but not as good as I was expecting. I'd like to just replace both of them. (pardon the dirty chrome in the pic, I haven't yet cleaned off the residue from resurfacing)
This is a cracked headlight.

I can't say for sure. I have a pre-facelift '04 R53 with the older style (non projector) Xenons.
But from my understanding; is that the ones you've pictured are Xenon.
I've been told that Xenons on 1st Gen Mini's can always be identified by having headlight washers.
BTW: If you do decide to buy new replacements - feel free to PM me. I maybe interested in buying your existing ones.
