bi-xenon gets high beam/low beam functionality not from the bulb, but the projector housing. if you want bi-xenon, you would need to do a projector retrofit.
you can go to theretrofitsource.com to buy parts.
hidplanet.com/forums has lots of info and stuff

since you have a sedan, if you want just 6000k, buy a pair of Phillips D2R 6000k.
if you want to have bi-xenon, buy a pair of Phillips D2S 6000k, pair of bi-xenon projectors, shrouds etc... all the accessories.

the way bi xenon works is that for D2S bulbs, the projector cuts off the top part of the light emitted, which is why you get a cut off line. if you want to go high beam, the solenoid that cuts the beam off gets removed, so the whole light output gets shined through the projector. when high beam is turned off, the solenoid comes back into place to block the top part, hence not creating glare for other drivers.

D2R does not require a projector to cut off top part of the light as it has its own cut off shield.

So unless I have projectors, I should be going with the D2R, is that correct?
