I believe all US spec cars came with Xenons or LEDs depending on year. If you enter your VIN into Mdecoder.com you will get the options list that will show xenon adaptive or led etc.

From your pics that looks like a LCI 2014-2016 so it should be adaptive LED.

The car has headlamp washers so it's almost certainly xenon. They're not normally fitted for halogen or LED headlamps as it's not a legal requirement.

Xenons. LED's have flat bottomed angel eyes. Halogens were no longer available on LCI cars, as Xenons became standard.

All F10's have those headlight washer covers. However, not all have functioning headlight washers, so it's impossible to know if the car has headlight washers based on the existence of the covers alone. If the car does not have headlight washers, the cover is still there, there is just nothing behind them.

Ah, good to know. I'm glad I didn't rely solely on that when trying to figure out what my car was fitted with!

Those headlights are clearly LCI Xenon’s…which can be seen by the horizontal strip at the indicator area
