can i ask why you keep referring to the HID light as Xenon, you can get xenon filament bulbs which are a completely different thing to HID. It is very confusing for people reading your posts.

Just dipped, I assume? HIDs are pretty rotten on main beam due to the warmup time and lack of flash.

But HIDs contain Xenon gas.. the other rubbish bulbs with "xenon filling/xenon look" should be called something else.

HIDs have been refered to as Xenon headlights since 1986 (7 series) ..

true, cars with Xenon mains usually have a shutter mechanism, which redirects the dipped to work as Main/hi beam.
