Exactly, and the self-leveling feature which is controlled by a computer in the MINI itself, I believe. If it's a computer in the housing then that would make things a lot easier.

If the Xenons are self-leveling, and you are going down a hill, does that mean they point themselves up away from the road into the air?

Good question. I don't know how they are kept from pointing upward, but when I was driving downhill, they were still illuminating the road ahead.

The high beams are xenon also? I never knew that, i used them once and they looked like any other high beams i see.

Yup, that's the "Bi" in Bi-Xenons.

I really didnt know that, what color should they be? Thinking about it, it kind of looked a little blueish.

They're the same light--just a shutter over the high beams until you flick the stalk.
