Default B7 Headlights question

Ok, I have been searching all morning and decided just to post this question.

What are the headlight options on B7's?

I see that there are halogen reflective headlights. Are there both halogen and Xenon projectors, or are the A4's equipped with projectors all Xenon? Are Xenon equipped A4's all bi-xenon?

sorry for such a noob post. I am looking to finally put my b5 to rest and get into a b7.

Thanks!

Two options in North America - Bi-Xenon projectors or Halogen with reflectors. Some of the Bi-Xenon models may also be adaptive which means they turn left/right in conjuction with steering wheel.. I ordered that option for my 2008 A4 Avant. According to the model guide on this site, that option also applied to the 2006 & 2007 model years.

Awesome, thanks for the info! Is there a way visually to tell if the bi-xenon's are adaptive or not?

Drive the car at night at >10mph and quickly weave left & right on the road. If you have adaptive, there's a very noticeable movement of the beam pattern, matched to your steering wheel movement. I notice the flick to each side.

If you have VCDS/VAG-COM there's also a demo mode for the headlight module - haven't tried that setting myself.
