Italian term or phrase: Fari Bixeno
As far as I understand, these are the " bixeno lights" in a car.

Is there any specific term for bixeno in English?

I fari bixeno rappresentano un'evoluzione rispetto ai fari allo xeno, e consentono al singolo proiettore di generare sia il fascio anabbagliante che quello abbagliante. Il fascio di luce passa dalla modalità anabbagliante a quella abbagliante per mezzo di un diaframma mobile schermato.

...Xenon and Bi-Xenon headlights do not have a fundamental difference, since they both use the same Xenon bulbs. They differ only in the number of bulbs that are in each set of headlights. Xenon headlights use two pairs of bulbs just like halogen headlights, while Bi-Xenon headlights use only a single pair of bulbs.
