The hype about bi-xenons is NOT all that. Simply because you have high beam xenon doesn't necessarily mean you can have them on during the night. Single beam HID's are already bright enough and it would not be legal to have them on during night time. Some people have bi-xenons on during daytime which seems lame. Why would someone want to turn their bi-xenon high beams on in the daytime??? In the case you do it, you are simply decreasing the optimum light brightness of the HID capsule. When you have your HID's on, as time goes by, the light ground output(lumens) will decrease. It has even been researched and proven that Xenon HIS lumen decreases over the time used.
Ok, seriously, what the hell are you talking about???
That was both incredibly hard to read, and wrong.
The hype about bi-xenons IS all that. I have some 2nd gen Hella bi-xenons so I have experience with them.
One one time did you even post anything true or usefull. It all looks like BS to me.
"Simply because you have high beam xenon doesn't necessarily mean you can have them on during the night."
Well, when else would you use a headlight??? Gee, I didn't know headlights were ever made to light up the road at night!!! (*sarcastic*)
"Single beam HID's are already bright enough and it would not be legal to have them on during night time."
Again, BULL ****. It's COMPLETELY legal to have them on at night. What would be so illegal about them? Really, I'd LOVE for you to enlighten me with your info here. (*again sarcastic*)
"Some people have bi-xenons on during daytime which seems lame. Why would someone want to turn their bi-xenon high beams on in the daytime???"
Once more, stupid lame BS. People have their headlights on in the daytime regardless if they're HIDs. It's called Day Time Running Lights. Also, no one WOULD want to turn their high beams on in the day time. No one ever does, so what the hell are you talking about???
"In the case you do it, you are simply decreasing the optimum light brightness of the HID capsule. When you have your HID's on, as time goes by, the light ground output(lumens) will decrease. It has even been researched and proven that Xenon HIS lumen decreases over the time used."
Yeah, and did you also know that if you have your halogen lights on you're decreasing THEIR lifetime and lumens too?!?! It's not just HIDs that do this. So, what's the point of that post?
Wow. You seem to have had it with this user millionflame. I have to agree that Victor's post was kinda difficult to read. I'm not sure I get what he was trying to say, but man there sure is some hostility here. I think we should keep it more civil, don't you?
If you have room in the headlamp housing for a seperate highbeam source,then a lowbeam-only projector would be fine IMHO.
But there's quite a few housings with only enough room for a single light source,so bixenons would be the way to go.
Yeah but if some BS comes about the board which is misleading it has to be countered. We all know millionframe is correct. Look at this guy in the other thread!!

Dual, dedicated optical cavities are always better. They are designed for exactly the intended purpose and do not have compromises built-in to compensate for achieving two beams.
I got the bi-xenons for the simple fact they are cool! I even have room (and used it) for a halogen reflector high-beam inside my housings, but still went with bi-xenons. They're cool! Plus the xenon high beam seems to be very bright to me (maybe it's just focused well?).
I'm in the process of deciding myself between bixenons or regular xenons.
First of all, I don't know what the hell Victor was talking about so don't listen to him.
As for the choices, my suggestion is fit the biggest projector you can into your housing (and make it look aesthetically pleasing too I guess - my dilemma). The bigger the projectors, the better the output. If you have a separate halogen highbeam, there's really no need for bixenon but you don't have to wire the high beams so it doesn't hurt either.
Bi-xenons are great. They work awesome as highs and the plate drops up and down so fast, that flashing ppl has never been so much fun. evn just signaling some1 to go. lane squaters can deal with the brightness and get the hell out of ur way.
