W211 Headlights

Does anyone know if you can use the xenon part and halogen part of the headlight to flash?
I have the bi xenon halogen headlights and when my headlights are off only my main beam halogen flashes but yet when my lights are on my xenons get brighter with high beam too.

Mutually exclusives going on.

Bi xenon headlamps do not have halogen lamps included. The xenon lamp does both jobs via a fast acting shutter.

Single xenon lamps have a slow ignition time, and so for flashes (and high beam) a halogen lamp is included.

Ahhhh I see what you mean, but my high beams are definitely halogen on the inside bulb, the picture is basically what I would like to happen when I flash with my lights switched off, just didn’t know if it’s something that could be coded in

I don’t think that would be possible. For one, the lamps are hard wired. For two, the car is homologated in that condition, so changing the actual operation of the lamps would be illegal.
