| '''Bi-Xenon Headlamps''' refers to HID (High Intensity Discharge) Xenon headlights that offer both low (dipped) and high (main) beam lighting from a dual headlight system (as opposed to a quad headlight system).
| |
| | |
| A bi-xenon system eliminates the need for a separate halogen high beam bulb/lense by either moving the xenon bulb within the lense or by moving a shield up or down in front of the bulb (depending on the reflector design) to allow light to escape from the lense in a different pattern.
| |
| | |
| Xenon gas bulbs produce a brilliant blue-white light that is virtually identical to the spectrum of daylight, which helps reduce eye strain and minimize night-driving fatigue. In low- or high-beam mode, the Bi-Xenon system offers a brighter and more consistent illumination of the road. The Bi-Xenon system typically features dynamic headlight leveling and on some vehicles dynamic cornering.
