Bi-xenon headlights
 

Bi-xenon headlights

epsilon93 has retrofitted his vehicle with bi-xenons.  You can see how he did it & discuss by clicking here.

Bi-xenon headlamps give a broader low beam and better curbside visibility. Brightness is much closer to daylight levels than normal halogen lamps. For high beam, the bi-xenon lamps are supplemented with halogen lights that give a long and broad throw. Beam length is adjusted automatically to maximize capacity and to reduce the risk of blinding oncoming traffic. In EU markets the bi-xenon lights comes with headlamp washers as standard.

Typically found in USA, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, The Netherlands, Japan.

These would be very difficult to retro fit since there are many parts involved.  An estimate of different parts are as follows:

Bi-xenon headlamps (halogen ones are different)
Xenon ballast
Xenon igniter
Xenon bulbs
Auto headlamp leveling controller
Front axle level sensor
Rear axle level sensor
Headlamp washer
Washer system hose and pump
Front bumper with headlamp washer jets
Headlight switch assembly

I do not have any more information on retrofitting this.  If you would like to contribute by submitting info (any info!), please email me.
