    Does anyone know if the high and low beams are produced by just one xenon bulb inside the light assembly?

    Thanks in advance

    Yep...during hi-beam a shutter opens to allow more light out of the projector.

    Ohhh. OK - that makes perfect sense now.

    I am having an issue with one of the headlight units. It appears that it is not going into high beam. So apparently, the shutter isn’t opening properly. Is there a way I can test it to see if it’s getting a signal to open? I’m trying to figure out now if it’s the shutter itself or an issue with the signal going to it.

    There isn't anything I see in the workshop manual about testing for the shutter other than replacing the whole headlight assembly...sorry. :(
