What kind of headlights does the 3.8 Genesis come with?

I was at a Hyundai delaership on Sunday and for the first time saw a printed brochure for the 2011 Genesis. As I went through the specs I noticed that it lists the headlights on the 3.8 Genesis as "Automatic High Intensity Discharge Xenon HeadLights". And under the Tech Package it lists it as "High Intensity Discharge Headlights Xenon Auto Leveling".

I was under the impression that the headlights on the non-Tech package versions were all halogen. Is this a type or are all Genesis equipped with HID headlights?

All new 4.6s come with auto leveling HIDs as does the 3.8 with the Tech Pkg.

I get that. That was always my assumption. However the brochure lists "Automatic High Intensity Discharge Xenon HeadLights" as Standard on the 3.8 model. I was always under the impression that all non-Tech models came with Halogen lights.

As I recall, the brochure has a couple of places where it gives the impression that certain optional equipment is standard. I think that's the case with the headlights. Base 3.8 comes with halogens, tech comes with xenon, not sure about premium/premium + nav but I think both of those also have halogens.

Check brochure legend about 3.8L at page 28: "T" shows Xenons are on Tech Package, page 31 shows Xenons also come only with Tech package.
