WTF? Bi-Xenon HID kit? Doesn't exist. There are a TON of Xenon HID kits, but no Bi-xenon HID kit.

What's up, man! Long time no see!
Does that even exist though? I've never ever seen an aftermarket kit that has bi-xenon functionality.
Xenon bulbs aren't like halogen, where there are filaments in the bulb. Xenon bulbs are gas filled (hence the name), so I don't understand what the OP is talking about.
The reason that they call it Bi-xenon is because the projectors on the OEM Mercedes headlights have a flap controlling the beam angle, which allows for it to be called bi-xenon.
I'm calling BS on the information posted by the OP under the suspicion that he's not familiar with the terminology and merging this with the aftermarket HID kit thread.

.I think when there referring to bi-xenon kits there referring to the solenoid within the bulb that moves either the shield or bulb (or both) up when you hit the high beam switch in your car. Also a bi-xenon kit also comes with an external control module that powers the solenoid instead of just two ballasts.
What have you been up to? Are you going to get that rear diffuser? I want to get it to see if I can modify it to fit the Brabus rear bumper but the differences between the Brabus vs AMG rear bumper is quite big.

you should try posting some wall shots from 25ft away, so we can get a better idea of how the beam pattern looks. Just off the initial shots, it looks like you lost some foreground lighting and there a few hot spots. But its hard to tell since there at ackward angles.
this is how real hids look.

2007 Mercedes-Benz C230 8K HID's Low Beam & Fog Lights
Alright guys i finaly bought the HID's for my Fog Light's from http://www.xenoneyes.com (9006 8K) the same place where i bought the low beams and i got them the same color (8K) as my Low Beams (H7) Here are some pic.
This is the HID Kit (9006 8K)
Now i read in the forum how to do this and i took of the hole bumper out and made it so much easier to work on, you'll see why?!?
This is the Passenger side now this had plenty of room to work on.
Now this is the driver's side and this was the problem cause the white thing that you see up front is the windshield wipers water and it was behind the fog lights and there was no room at all so that's why i decided to take the hole bumper out.
Passenger Side
Driver's Side
I will get some pic. posted up soon cause it has been raining everyday so but hopefully this will help anybody that want's to change their Fog Lights and by the way they look sick. That's the best money i've spent on the car and totally worth every single penny. Thank You

Lights looks nice. Do you have a DIY? I am debating on ordering these but I'm not really sure how to install them. Also, did you get any errors in your console when installing them and are you getting and flicker? Thanks.
