Bi-Xenon Question
I have the curve sensing xenon's so does that mean that I have bi-xenons? If so, doesn't that just mean that the flap on the upper half of the xenon bulb is lifted for high beam levels?

Yes to both points.

That's what I thought but when I pull back the high beam stalk the inner circle (where the parking lights are housed) projects the beam. Is this in addition to the xenon?

When your xenons are off and you pull the stalk, only the "inner circles" will illuminate. That is because of the timelag in the xenon illuminating from the off position. When your xenons are on and you pull the stalk, the "inner circles" will illuminate and the shutter will move in the xenons to provide full beam from them too.
