[QUOTE="YaZmEeN, post: 525736, member: 19172"] For me, i don't really rely on the user which has just clocked 25 post. Let me share with u: 1. Xenon and Bi-Xenon headlights are identical in terms of the bulbs that are used - Agreed, but identical from outside, if u dismantle the headlight most of the interior part aren't the same. 2. Xenon headlights use four bulbs, while Bi-Xenon headlights only use two - This is totally misleading, the low beam will always use one bulb, the D2S xenon bulb, xenon or bi-xenon, and the high beam, another halogen bulb, mostly the H7 type. 3. Xenon headlights switch between two sets of bulbs for high and low beams, while Bi-Xenon uses a mechanical system to set the beam of light - I don't understand ur first part of the statement, but for bi-xenon, the shroud will control the beam, high or low. Yes, its mechanical controlled. 4. Bi-Xenon headlights are less likely to fail compared to Xenon headlights - U're saying bi-xenon less likely to fail but how bout the statement for no 6? 5. Bi-Xenon headlights can be cheaper than Xenon headlights - U must be kidding me, bi-xenon is more expensive, new technology for sure 6. Bi-Xenon headlights can suffer from mechanical failure, to which Xenon headlights are immune - it can suffer but mostly they don't. the shroud are design in a way it should last longer. A video to show some sample here [video=youtube;WGadPVW3UWk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGadPVW3UWk[/video] [/QUOTE]
