Question Installing aftermarket headlights - how do I convert to bixenon?

I have an '03 coupe with stock HID setup - HID low beam and H4 High beam/fog light. I ordered the Spec D projector headlights which have a projector for the HID bulb and reflector for an H1 (single beam) bulb.

I would like to convert my HID setup to a bixenon setup that uses the HID for the low and high beam. From what I've read, the shade that moves out of the way is on the bulb, not in the projector, but I do not think this accurate. I cannot find bulbs that show as being specifically bixenon.

I know that I do not need to change my ballast to switch from single to dual beam xenon, and I can rewire the lights so that the high beam signal is routed to the HID bulb rather than (or perhaps in addition to) the new H1 bulb.

So, I guess my question is... How the heck do I make this conversion? What bulbs do I need, or is the shade part of the projector hardware itself?

06 projectors move the shade inside the headlight and has nothing to do with the bulb
