Xenon and bi Xenon

[suley]

Newbie here again!

Can any1 please tell me the difference between xenon and bi xenon headlight?

I have heard MBZ came with these 2 kinds.

Any input would be appreciated!

Xenon are metal halide lamps that contain xenon gas.

BI-Xenon that offer both low (dipped) and high (main) beam lighting from a dual headlight system (as opposed to 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 and down in front of the bulb (depending on the reflector design) to allow light to escape from the lense in different pattern.


Hope this well help you understand the different by the two.

Also the Bi-Xeon bulb cost a whole lot more to replace !!!
