Here wee have a quick overview of how a bi-xenon headlight projector works.

A true high performance headlight upgrade involving a bi-xenon projector is vastly different than a "bixenon" plug n play HID kit. Projector systems use a light "cutoff shield" inside to define the shape of their beam pattern. Bixenon projectors have a hinged cutoff shield that will move out of the way when the high beam solenoid is activated, letting more light project through the lens, and creating the high beam.

Demo projectors are a Hella E55 bi-xenon (common in BMW's/Mercedes) and an Acura TL bi-xenon (exclusive to the 04-08 Acura TL's)

This is the same technology found in all modern high end cars from BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Nissan, Acura etc.
