Found Out My Inner Lights Do Nothing?

So the other night I was in the fast lane and flashed the car in front of me by pulling the stalk back. They moved accordingly, but the "flash2pass" which on my old 330 was the inner headlights looked awfully like my HID bi-xenon high beams.

Later that night I pulled into my garage and once again tested bi-xenon high beams vs flash2pass and also found them oddly familiar. I thought nothing of it and just thought BMW used a whiter halogen bulb so the difference wasn't as noticeable.

Today I pulled into a local lot and stopped in front of a mirror tinted window and did the same test. This is where I noticed my flash2pass and bi-xenon high beams (pulling stalk backwards and pushing stalk forward) are identical. Both are the bi-xenon HIDs.

I was quite surprised, I was expecting the inner headlights to flash with the flash2pass but I got nothing. Am I the only one surprised by this? Or do I really just have dummy inner headlights for show?
