Bi-xenons... you shouldn't have lost your high beams, even if you pulled that inner light out completely. You would lose the ability to flash those inner lights, but your actual high beams are just your normal lights aimed higher. Even then, you can flash them by just turning the brights on and off.

U can get LED H7 bulbs and then wire a resistor. I left the resistor OUTSIDE the headlights for a customer so it wouldnt be so hot in there.
