Mod- Inner halogens when high beam on?

Random question - has anyone modified the high beam operation on a bi-xenon z4 to make the inner flash-to-pass halogens light up when the high beams are engaged?

It seems like a waste not to use them as additional light for high beam situations.

I've got a 2008 M roadster and was thinking about auxiliary lights, but wondered if I could just fire up the halogens already there.

Yeah it's used only for the flash to pass feature, since halogens fire without delay.

🤔🤔🤔 I'd be concerned with the potential heat buildup from running the halogens.

I don't know if you've checked but I've looked on my 2006 M Roadster and the bi-xenon operate high beam flash to pass and main beam, there is no halogen bulb located in the inner housing, its a fake.
