Lighting options ???
Looking at my current lighting setup (Bi-Xenon) on a 2003 3.0d Sport, it just looks a bit mixed up in sofar as one pair of lights are Blue/Xenon, but the dipped, and main beam are yellow  What is the 'Bi' part in Bi-Xenon, if only the main beam is xenon? Can the dipped beam be upgraded without using tack blue/tint bulbs? At some stage I will be facelifting the car but for now I was wondering if there is a simple upgrade (as with the E39) to Angel eyes without opening the old units to install CCFL rings. I have used Xenon type HID bulbs in the past and some were pretty good? I guess these would look better in the main beam and fogs just to try and get things to match in the meantime (though what to do about the miserable low-beam bulbs). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Kev

Bi-xenon means that both the low/high beams use the same bulb (there's a shutter in the bulb so when you turn the high beams on by pushing the stalk forward the bi-xenon is activated)

Low = dipped (centre two lamps)
High = Full (also centre two lamps) On my car both these are yellow. Only the main beam is Xenon (blue). According to the delivery options it has Bi-Xenon, so I'm still not exactly sure what this means? Is my car normal? TIA

The bi-xenon (Outer lamps) means that a shutter was put into the lo-beam light unit that drops when you go to hi-beam to provide full illumination to the road. The inner "Hi-beams" are still halogen and will look yellow compared to xenon.

if you have a mirrored looking large bulb in the middle of the main light then you should have xenon, If not you don't. The main beam shouldn't be xenon unless you bought used and they retrofitted a hid kit to the main beam.
