In my opinion, there seems to be a projector lamp, and only HID uses projector lamp. Halogen doesnt.

The orange tint, imo, is caused by the pole lights aka position lights which are ususally orange in stock, even when paired with stock HIDs.

Bear in mind, stock HID from toyota is not pure white color, it is slightly yellowish. Also cars with HID usually have an additional halogen lamp for high beam purposes. And also this video have been edited for colour contrast etc, hence the colour doesnt appear as white as it is in reality.

I've circled in this picture to show where i could possibly see a projector lamp lookalike circle of much whiter light in a concentrated area, much like the light throw characteristics of HID. Halgoen doesnt throw light in a concentrated circle. And the picture also shows where i speculate the pole lights to be, causing the general orange tint.

I could be wrong though as the video image have been manipulated to the nth degree
