'06 9-5 wagon: headlamp varieties

Haven't had a chance to get to this yet, but our '06 9-5 wagon has a "headlamp failure" message on the SID. I had a brief look in the Saab owners manual, and it seems these cars were supplied with different kinds of headlamps: Xenon, or Halogen. I'll admit that when we bought this car (used), I didn't really pay much attention to the headlights. It was in for service a while ago, and since they only charged us about $20, I let the techs replace one of the headlight bulbs. He mentioned in the notes on the service paper work that the headlight was not aligned properly, which he fixed.
I'm going to take a wild guess that this is a halogen unit, as a Xenon cartridge (or whatever they're called) is a lot more $$. So, before I get in there and take a look, can I expect to find a plain old H7 bulb? Is there anything to look out for as far as "alignment" goes? On my present ('01 Aero) and previous 9-5 wagons, there were just H7 bulbs that you really could only install one way: unhook the clip, put in new bulb, snap clip back in...
