Question...

When mercedes refer the lighting package to be Bi-xeon, does that mean the headlamps and fog lights are xeon?

No, it means high beam and low beam lights.

Why

Bi-xenons normally have an incandescent high-beam as an auxilliary light source. There are not two xenon bulbs -- just one and a shutter that changes the beam. Plus the bluish cast of xenon is counter-productive for a fog. Yellower is better.

I just want the color to be the same. We dont get much fog where i live, so would rather have the fogs to match xeon color.
