Volvo headlight units, which have I got?

Hello Everyone.
I have just bought a V8 XC90, my first ever Volvo.
I changed from a Porsche Cayenne to the XC90, apart from the road holding the Volvo is winning hands down.
I now will be visiting the site for questions and answers.
First question to you knowledgeable peeps, one of my headlight units is weathered by the sun, the other is brand new due to being replaced as was damaged, this was before I became the new owner.
Can someone explain please? I don't think I have active Bi Xenon lights
But when I checked the dipped bulbs it has a Bi Xenon bulb D1S fitting, the main beam is H7 fittings. Are these active Bi Xenon or has someone just added the bulbs as aftermarket?
Next question, seeing as I like everything to be just right on my cars, the old light unit sticks out like a sore thumb, are there any differences between the halogen unit and active Bi Xenon unit please?
If anyone can explain which unit I need, can you point me in the right direction to purchase a new unit.
I have tried the polishing restoration kits, but it's still not as clear as the new one.
Regards Steven

Think you have put this in the wrong section if my guess on the age of this car is right.
