Try turning them on and immediately get out and look at the glass lens of the low beam...it's blue until it fully warms up. Once they're fully warmed up they'll settle in at a yellower color like sunlight. The autolevelers probably run a self test as well...they did in my Audi.

you are correct. Two things happen when the HID's come on--color shift AND light elevating from the ground upward due to the autoleveling. As far as why the light pattern is round/oblong rather than rectangular, it is a projector lens after all (can't project a square image with a sphere).

the inside lights turning on because if you are flashing somebody makes sense because HID"s dont' instantly come on.

fog lights turn off because you cannot have more than 4 lights on at a time by law.

will check if it is really bi xenon, but either way, not much we can do if it is or isn't . .

to be honest, how often do we use high beams anyway
Yeah I guess Canadian IS's are the same.
I have Canadian version IS350 with Lux pack, and work as what people posted
