Brilliant many thks
Apologises for the daft question are xenons also known as HID plse
Indeed the AFS which i believe are the cornering ones I read somewhere there suppose to be a pain with the amount u have to do
Also see something about Bi xenons , Christ knows what they are
If I’ve read it right with the xenons on full beam there’s a shutter on the drop beam bulb that opens up to assist the full beam
Will have a look round for some xenons in the spring
Is also nice being able to get round to the little bits, ie front bumper, headlights etc after all the hard work
Many thks as always

Indeed the AFS which i believe are the cornering ones I read somewhere there suppose to be a pain with the amount u have to do - but really cool and works well - I have thse on my D3 HSE
Also see something about Bi xenons , Christ knows what they are Laughing
If I’ve read it right with the xenons on full beam there’s a shutter on the drop beam bulb that opens up to assist the full beam - yes there is a shutter on the D3 and D4 Xenon headlights and the MY 14 Bi Xenons
Will have a look round for some xenons in the spring

yeah HID and xenon tend to be used to mean the same.
the bi-xenon is the shutter to get a good main beam. All D3 HID have this

Hid bulbs usually last a lot longer than halogen as the voltage to them is very controlled

Seeing halogen will normally last a few years it’s good to know HID will last longer
Out of curiosity I Had a look on ebay for the xenon headlights and see there roughly around £70-95 each
