Bi-Xenon lamps
The way I understand how the bi-xenon lamp works is that there is one bulb in the lamp assembly that is responsible for both the low AND the high beam of the HID/xenon.
My question, is there a shutter responsible to block off some of the high beam, thus creating creating the low beam. How does that work?

I found this on xenonvalot.com
NEW!! Revolutionary H4 Bi-xenon conversion kit!!
We have taken into our collection of Xenon conversion kits what we believe to be the ultimate H4 HID headlamp conversion kit. This new Bi-Xenon Hylow dualbeam H4 kit is sporting new technology and additional value and safety for you as a customer.
Traditionally with a typical H4 conversion you are trying to replace a twin filament halogen lamp with a single arc discharge burner. How does it work then? The normal result is that you have to lose your Main or High beam function. Xenonvalot.com is now offering you a solution where you have both Low beam and High beam function in a single lamp. The smart EMAS control system moves the arc by using electromagnetics to create a swift and accurate vertical movement of the light source. By using the very latest in electronics we move the arc to give you both functions in a simple single discharge burner! The burner doesn´t shut down during the switching operation and so there is no delay in lighting up which is typical to Xenon conversion kit when you change from high to low or vice versa. The kit is also genuine Xenon not a setup of xenon/halogen combined as you may have seen.

The site I got that info from was xenonvalot.com, but if they have them I'm sure they're not alone.

2007 G35 comes with bi xenon already. H4 bulbs are a pretty old bulb type (found in my old 99 civic).
Saab has a system that has bixenon like ours, but an extra high beam bulb for flash function (to avoid unnecessary wear and tear on the bi xenon system).
I was wondering if anyone knew how the G's bulb works.
Hmmm...

But I also had one in my 1978 DUCATI

A bi xenon headlight basically means the low and high beam are from one hid projector inside your headlight assembley. The "bi" basically means you have a low/high beam hid projector.
Inside this projector is a cut off shield, it blocks off some of the light coming out that's how you get your low beam and there's a "cut off line" which is what defines the "dark" and "bright" spot if your shining your headlights against a wall. It's basically a shield inside the projector, and in a bi xenon setup, this shield can be flipped down or moved out the way by the means of a 12v solenoid, and when it's moved or flipped out of the way, more light can shine out of the projector thus you get your high beam where light now is more of a circle instead of a semi circle.
Better yet for those who can't visualize it, imagine your low beam as a big and bright semi circle where the top half of the circle has been sliced in half horiztonally, and when the cut off shield inside the bi xenon projector moves out the way for high beam function, now you get a full circle of light.
