Hmm ok a friend bought some for his F250 an that's how they were, from what he said. He got them from ddm also. I haven't actually seen them though....

I have a friend running DDM bi-xenons and they're a telescoping HID bulb. No halogen involved.

Well i can't find crap anymore, they used to be everywhere!!! Also, I might have a telescoping hid kit here soon, I converted my headlights to non-functional(just for showing off colors, not to actually see with), so the telescopic kit will be removed and replaced with single beam versions.

I'd be curious to see them. I've never seen anything but telescoping bi-xenons. I'm curious how you fit an HID and a halogen bulb into a space designed for a single bulb.

This is Lo-HID, Hi-Halogen I think....maybe vice-versa.

Hmmm...That is odd.

This is a bi-xenon(telescoping bulb).

This pic shows the bulb in Lo-beam mode, normally the metal shield is on the bottom side when mounted and so all light reflects off top of housing and points downwards for Lo-beam. When you switch to high, the bulb moves inwards about 5mm aligning the burn chamber with that opening in back of chamber, allowing light to reflect off bottom of housing and shine upwards while rest does like Lo-beam. So on Lo you have light only reflecting off upper half of housing, on Hi you have light reflecting off entire housing increasing the spread of light.

Considering that halogen is basically an H3 bulb, I can't see it being very useful. It's prolly for Lo-beam.

It does look like an H3-size, which would make it next-to-useless. I'm betting it's HID low and halogen high, though.

Yeah, that metal shield configuration and the halogen not having a painted glare cap kinda makes it look that way too.

Plus, if you're buying HIDs, you're going to want them for your lows so you can actually use them.

Yerp....now I also see they have a twin tower hid, atleast I found one a lil while ago, it has 2 of those hid bulbs side-by-side with a heatshield between them. Imagine the heat generated if you ran them with 4-Hi mod lololol.

 

[1badgmc]

Damn that'd be HOT!

When my friend asked me what the bi xenon was that was the pic I found when looked it up, so that's why I thought that was what wfo was talking about....
