    what is the diff btw xenon and bi-xenon exactly? I see there is some type of flap that allows light to the high beams, how is this controlled? I see with ecode you can upgrade to bi-xenon lenses, but do u need additional parts? Is it worth it?

    with bixenons, your highbeams are the normal "low" beams but with the "shutter" open in the projector housing.... In normal xenons, your highbeams are a separate light source and halogen.....

    seems like it makes it just fancier to say "i have bi-xenon"

    its plug and play, if you have xenons already you just take the bulbs/ballasts from your old housings, they are the same
