Same thing. HIDs are Xenon (gas).
There have been many complaints about the lighting on high-end cars over the last few years. Much of it has to due with the color of the lights themselves. Viewers perceive the light as blue, and it draws the eyes to it because it's different than the more common yellow light.

If everyone had HIDs, no one would notice -or care.
