2011 R3 - no HID?

I recently looked up the specs for the last year of the RX8 and saw something that surprised me. According to the spec sheet, they removed the HID headlights from the R3 for the 2011 model. Is this correct? I know for a fact the 2009 R3 had them.

EDIT: Meant to post this in the Series II forum. If a mod could please move it, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks everyone. I was worried Mazda gimped the top of the line RX-8 for its last year of production. Glad to hear it was simply a typo on their spec sheet.
