Yeah best ask your dealer if they are covered at all, but I wouldn't expect them to be.

The bi-xenons are great, its good to the xenon brightness for full beam as well.

Bi-xenons, aren't available in the US, so since I ordered non bi-xenons then I'm not really using the xenons for every night driving then? Because I would just be using the regular halogen for main beam? So why do they even offer xenon headlights for the US market then? Just to flash folks in front of us?
