In Xenon lights there is a piece of metal next to low beam xenon bulb (inside the projector) which makes the correct pattern to avoid blinding other drivers. In Bi-Xenon lights this piece of metal is movable and when you switch to high beams it moves away so that it doesn't cut the light from the middle anymore. So effectively same bulb is acting as both low and high beam (hence "bi"). In addition to that there is also the halogen bulb next to xenon which here in EU is used as an additional high beam and lights up together with Bi-Xenon high beam mode. That gives pretty good high beam light level at dark.
Btw. I already ordered xenon swap kit to replace my halogen high beam with 50w xenon. That way I would have "double xenon" high beam setup which should be really bright. But here in north it's pretty dark during the winter so it comes handy
