Default so is it possible...

to swap out bixenon housings with my 2002 xenon housings?

or better yet is it worth it? is there any difference in the light pattern from the bixenon low beam bulb? I rarely use my high beams as it is...

Default i have bixenon, and in the city of course the bixenon is pointless...(m)

because the street lights give enough light. But the do become useful if you are in a poorly lit area. However the low-beam xenons do a great job already lighting up the road. I have rarely used my high-beams.

Default the part that is different is the xenon projector. (m)

the high-beam is the same, except what happens with the low-beam xenon project is that the shield moves (that creats the cutoff you see, that doesnt allow the xenon light to blind oncoming traffic) which will take away the cut-off and allow the xenon light to project upwards acting as a high-beam.

Default So there is no difference...

Between the Bi Xenon and the regular xenon as far as the low beams are concerned?

The bi-xenon projector is bigger, I'm not sure if this would change light output or not
