Bixenon doesn't mean that there are two separate projectors with two separate bulbs. I have retrofitted W211 bixenons in my car. All it is is a projector that has a metal flap in front of the bulb. In a non bixenon application, that metal flap is there to stay. Butw/ bixenon, that flap is hooked to an actuator, which is triggered by the highbeam switch, and then drops down to let all the light out, thus giving high beam. There is no separate bulb to ignite.

Yes I did it myself. It's very straight forward. Get rid of the cheap lense/projector, line up the new one in there. You gotta jerryrig it with washers or use epoxy. You'll see. It's because the holes dont line up. And then the two wires (positive and ground) for the high beam actuator needs to be tapped into the high beam wires, so that when you pull for high beams, it activates the flaps as well. That's pretty much all there is to it.
