Default New Audi A4 appears to have Xenon's, but not on window sticker

New to AW and have had my A4 1.8TQ for a month, haven't driven much at night until this past weekend. My headlights seem bluish, but Xenon wasn't on window sticker. How can I tell? Anyone else experienced this? Thanks,

When you first turn on the headlights, do they flash and start out very blue and then warm up to white?

Also, try starting your car with your headlights on - when the car starts, the headlights will do a levelling self test. You'll see them dip down and then back to normal level.

If you experience either/both of these, you have Xenons.

Do they auto-level themselves when you turn them on? You will see them move up and down for a sec.

They only do that when the engine is started - not everytime you turn them on.
