Hmm... Bi-xenon Projector headlights?
I recently found out that a version of the 90mm projector ised in my light cannon headlights is now available in a dual-mode setup.
What does this mean? A Bi-halogen or Bi-xenon projector is a single housing that creates both high and low beam pattern by moving the cutoff shield. This translates to an instant powerful high beam with no additional power requirements and without having to wait for HID bulbs to warm up.
What I'd like to do is build a combination setup for daily driver with a Bi-xenon main beam (outer module) and a regular projector foglight for the inner module (would use flat shield instead of stepped and a 3000K HID or halogen bulb)
It would be a fun project for me and ideal for anyone that uses their car as a daily driver (i.e. their car may occasionally see rain)

The projector used in the SLC kit were never offered in Bi-xenon....
....HOWEVER, the 60mm housing is thee same size as most 3" OEM projectors that have the Bi-xenon feature built in. Right now there are 3 cars (including mine) that have the stealth light cannons kit with Bi-xenon projectors, but this involved a LOT of fabrication and cutting into the wheel well to make everything fit.

I have always wanted that kind of a setup in my C5!
