Xenon to Bi-Xenon

Iacob · 10-14-2019, 12:38 AM

I have xenon headlights on my 2011 335xi but due to one being cracked I kinda want to change it up/upgrade it. I was wondering if bi-xenon headlights would work.

The current headlights are xenon adaptive headlights and I would get the adaptive bi-xenon if it would work.

all bmw xenon headlight after 2003 MY are bixenon headlights
the second reflector either decorative or may light up when you perform manual flash
when you enable high beam the shutter is opened in xenon projector and light beam become wider and higher

OP, you've already got bi-xenons.
