Default HID light question

This may be a very dumb question, so forgive me in advance, but aren't the HID's (luxury package) supposed to have BiXenon lights, meaning low and high beams are HID? When I turn my lights to high beam, the HID lights don't change brightness, the Daytime lamps (yellow) turn on high power. This makes the car have yellow lights in the inner aspect, and HID's (blue/white)on the outside part. Kinda ugly. Is this normal? Thanks

If you look closely, you'll notice a shield is lifted in the low beam area making the HID's more intense. Plus we also got halogen high beams to assist in the blinding process.

Park up near a wall, and pull back the lever, you'll see what I mean.

So YES, we do have Bi-Xenon. Bi-Xenon means both low beam and high beam is HID. Technically that is the case. Usually this is Bi-Xenon. If you pull the lever on the new Acura TL, the low beam shield lifts.
