Yes, use premium. I have a 2000 as well and everything I have heard is stay with the premium. It states it in the owners manual. The bulbs are HID's and are expensive but dont worry. Enjoy the car!

yea you should only use premium gas, and the buld can be found cheaper than that, but you shouldnt need one for quite awhile. i have 136k mile on mine and mine are almost always on

Welcome and congrats on the purchase!

Always use premium...you can try filling up w/the middle/cheapest grade but you'll feel your car being very sluggish. Also, the middle/cheapest grade gas can damage the engine in the long run. As for your HID bulbs, if one of them seems to burn out..for the price you pay for a stock HID Bulb (4300k), mine as well upgrade to (6000k).
