You can get the body shop to order the bi-xenons. The insurance company is not likely to check to see what headlight you have/had just that it's an OEM replacement.

Insurance is meant to indemnify you, not add features to your car. The bixenons also come with headlamp washers, so it would be easy to verify that you didn't have OEM bi-xenons.

just take it to a shop that you know. They can add the bixenons as a estimate. most insurance companies will just ask for a estimate of the repair cost, not a itemized sheet.

if you want to be some what more honest, just get a estimate from the most expensive dealership in your area. Then take it a third party and use the left over money to buy the bixenons.
