Post a pic of the lights on at night. You can tell by the color of the light. The Xenon's have a real white almost blue tint and the halogens have a yellowish tint.

If your car has headlight washers (button next to the headlamp switch) and the triangle shaped cutouts on the bumper between the headlights (which it looks like you have), then you have xenons.

It looks like your right front is suffering from "pink eye". You need a replacement D2S bulb. I would buy a pair since the other is most likely not far behind and replacing pairs will ensure color match.
