Default Bi xenon

Problem is that there was dipped and main xenon. Both main lights stopped changing to main beam at the same time. Halogen main light is working. Fuse and relay are ok.
where is driver for xenon flap? There is no wiring fir it in diagram.
What can be problem?

Hi Matti,
See my other answer. What year is your car. It's always useful to put the car's details in your signature.
Bi-Xenon with HID having both high and low beams seems to have been only in certain markets, and I think, was changed to HID low beam only at some point in production. My 2008 Ex-Japan car has only low beam HID.
So some early cars in some markets may have had Bi-Xenon, but I think they were in a minority.
My car has the Valeo low beam only HID units and they are very hard to find Bi-Xenon units that will fit in the space.
In the meantime, I have fitted HID compatible LEDs as a trial.

Hi Matti,
It looks like my reply to your other post went missing, so here is the diagram again.

Hi Matti,
look here:



Maybe I have overlookeb it, but I have not seen what car you exactly have. Could you please include the details (engine, month/year of the car), then we can search for the correct diagram?

Best regards,

Thomas

Hi Matti,
I have tried to attach the electrical guide for the MY2006, hopefully it worked. If yes, you at least have the comprehensive explanations of all the symbols, etc.

If you look to Figure 08.1, in the headlight clusters there is a small part called "dip". Maybe that's the flap. Unfortunately, I could not find anything more specific.

Best regards,

Thomas

I think the oval object to the right of the headlamp levelling module is the solenoid. Bulbs are denoted by a circle with an X inside.

I removed headlights. Power to bixenon flap is directly taken from main beam inside headlight unit.
