A 4-bulb headlight system refers to separate high and low beam bulbs. One of each on both sides = 4 bulbs. Only the low beams are HID, the high beams are conventional halogens.

2 for HID Low Beam
2 for Reg High Beam
2 for Turn Signal/Marker light?
2 for (Drum Roll) Day time running lights (like the ones on the I-30)
I think that's what the 4th set is for...

I thought those 4th set of lights were the flash-to-pass lights. You can't flash the xenons because they take too long to heat up.
