I got my eyes on these for the facelift. These are Bi xenon though and not sure if they will work. Are all 04-06 bi xenon?

Thanks

Bi-xenon means there is a solenoid controlled cover that drops when you go to hi-beam.

Meaning that the HIDs (outer lights) on Bi-Xenon are used for both high and low beam by a flip of a flap. The inner lights are now only functional as "flash to pass".

On non-Bi-Xenon, the HIDs only work in low beam. The inner lights act as both high beam and "flash to pass".

One thing I did notice is that you'll be transferring a pot of money to europe. "NO CREDIT CARDS"! Not very advisable unless you can afford to kiss it goodbye.
