This is where the term Bi-Xenon comes from (I think, but may be wrong). The HID lamps are therefore used for both Dip and Main beams. My main beam 'assist/spot' lamps are H7 type, not 9005 as some of the web sites have them.
A number of web sites have not made any allowance for the B-Xenon fit. I did discuss this with someone at Powerbulbs earlier in 2005 and even sent him a fax of the relevant page from the Owners Manual, but so far they've ignored it.
Hope this helps a bit

I spoke with Powerbulbs a couple of weeks ago because their web site tells you to order 9005's. When the 9005's arrived my dealer told me they were wrong and I needed H7's. I told Powerbulbs this and they were like "we
anything, only what the manufacturer tells us. So it's not our fault." I had to pay to post the bulbs back and get a refund.
