Bi-xenons are headlights where both low and high beams are xenon. In regular xenons, only the low beams are xenon.

Neither xenon nor bi-xenon lights have to have a clear lens. The new bi-xenons are clear because they are projector type lamps.

Well put. A little more on bi xenons. They don't actually have 2 xenon bulbs in the headlight. It's still only 1 ballast and 1 xenon lamp. The way that the hi beams work, is that there is a reflector that moves and redirects the light. These bi xenons first came equipped in the new CLs. I think soon enough, all MBs will have them as options.
