understanding bi-X
Fellas...I just realized I know less about the bi-x on my 203 than I had previously thought. It was my understanding that with bi-x the h7 bulbs are only for high beam flashers, as opposed to regular halogens where they are the high beam + high beam flashers.
On my car, when I turn on the high beams, the h7 bulbs come in as well...should they? Is it possible I have xenons for the low beam only and not bi-x?

They are supposed to turn on. It's been discussed somewhere on the forum.

Your car is correct. BiX just means the projector is Xenon for both high & low beams. A mechanical shutter raises from the botton to dip them.
The auto levelling moves the projector & H7 in the housing to ensure they don't blind oncoming motorists.
