BiXenon Question

Isn't flashing you high beams a problem because of start up time and current?

I have read that the H7 halogen bulb is retained for that purpose. The bi-xenon bulbs are dual beam bulbs.

yeah the bi-xenons only use 1 bulb with some sort of mirror that deflects the light through the high beam lense. So it is ok to flash your highbeams if you have bi-xenons.

The bi-xenon lights have a moveable shield that is operated by a solenoid, but it is still to slow to flash as high beams.

The traditional high beam is kept for this reason only.
