Bi-xenon. > If you have the BiXenons, does yours have the halogen lamps on the > inboard side of the HID bulb too? If so do yours ever come on? Each side has three bulbs: the xenon and two other smaller ones. One looks like just a regular round little bulb. The other one comes to a point and has a black coating at the end. The little round bulb is used for the parking lights and the follow-me-home lights. It also comes on whenever the xenon bulb is on. The other one never comes on. I tried the low beams, high beams, parking lights, and the follow-me-home lights and nothing made it light up. Not sure what it's used for. Maybe it's a backup if the xenon bulb fails?
