adaptive bi-xenons are an option from the factory. i have 'em on my car, the turning headlights are pretty sweeet.

edit:

if you dont have them, oempl.us has the e-code adaptive bi-xenons, but at a price ($2250!) (http://oempl.us/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=60_71_106&products_id=546)

OK, I am really confused by your question.

Um...we do have both High and Low beam Xenon, hence "Bi-Xenon" (where the prefix "bi" typically means "two" or "separate"). There are flaps in the Xenon lens that mechanically open to let more light escape when you switch on the high-beams, they close for low-beams.

Obviously, you are not really interested in Xenon flashers, because that would be ridiculous to fire up a ballast for each flash - but rather, you likely want standard projector lenses over each bulb space. I am sure that the BMW does not actually have a ballast for each flasher, rather it's just a projector lens over a standard bulb.

There are some guys on the forum that have put a projectors lens over the orange flashers when they did the clear corner. They look OK. It depends on your style. I have never seen anyone put lenses over the DRL's.
