Question about HID headlight bulbs
I have the bi-xenon headlights. I was just wondering. Does each headlight have two hid bulbs? Also I noticed inner one is not as white and wanted to upgrade it to match the outer. What bulb does it take? Last but not least. Has any changed their cornering light to a led?

What year is your car?
Bixenon headlights have only one HID bulb. The high beam is achieved by simply uncovering part of the beam which was covered with a shield. The inner light you are referring to may be parking lights.

Parking lamps can be swapped out with compatible LEDs.

Think you might be referring to your cornering light? Those are H7 units. Your parking lights should already be LEDs as you have lighting package.

Gaining access might be difficult if you have big hands, but it's not hard to remove the bulbs once you gain access.
