What do you mean by "dynamic" xenon?

I have an early 2004 so I want to know what I'm missing. :(

"dynamic" xenon are lights that also move slight left and right with the steering wheel. Your (and mine) early 2004 have the "regular" xenon that only moves up and down (tilts) to adjust for thrust angles. You're not missing much as the additional motor(s) are just additional items prone to breaking, IMHO.

So are these major differences??????

Only in early 2004 models.

so based on the replies, i think nothing is really MAJOR... i have 2004 X...

Thanks alll for your help I love the design of this car- I am debating btwn this car and another but will save that for another post. So it seems if I can get my hands on a late model 04 I will be str8- how do you determine the month of the vehicle- other then the obvious that itr has those extra features.

Read the door jam.

late 2004 = at most 06/04 since I have all the features mentioned in this thread. You may even be able to get an earlier one. Just look for them in the car instead of relying only on the date.
