Bi-Xenon is HID High and Low beam, in a H4 application the bulb itself will move or the shield will move to throw the light Dip or High beam.

With a regular kit, you will either loose Highbeam all together or, some of the kits ive seen run a tiny *** basicly corner light 194 bulb for high beam.

Most "bi-xenon" plug and play kits are not solenoid activated, nor do they move. They just usually have an H1 bulb attached to them to act as your high beam.

quit trying to sell your $hit here, post in appropriate sections.

It's all in the projector technology. Only 1 HID bulb is needed. Bi-Xenon has its advantages, so do single Xenon setups. Research, numerous information can be found on topic.
