Bi Xenon is an upgrade you can get from your dealer, or you can order Euro Bi Xenons from our pal Steve

The 2005 models will supposedly have clear lenses now instead of frosted as well. The next ones I believe get projector style halogens too. So in the future clear lensed Halogens can be had as well for those who do not want Bi-Xenons.
