Question Bi-xenon question

I have just bought the Bi-Xenon light kit for my 964, the one for H4 lamps with Hi / Lo beam. To connect it is ratter easy. New bulbs and ballast in place, but one question remains. The solenoid is connected to the cars battery and the 2 x ballast, remaining is one cable that should go from the solenoid to the old feeding from the cars original harness for the H4 lamp….what about the other sides old feeding…should it just hang there ?
Grateful for some advice

Yes, I suspect so.

While I have not installed the Bi-xenon's myself (yet.... ), when I swapped from H4's to H5's and installed some relay's, I ran a wire from the old light feed to the new relay to be able to trip it when I turned the dashboard switch on - the other side I just left hanging (well taped up) as I did not need both lines to trip the relay.

Correct. The hi/lo switcher relay handles both ballasts but needs only the feed from one of the original lights.

That's right. The connection from the existing headlight just provides the dipped/main switching which is needed by the new relay to operate the solenoid in the new bulbs to select high or low beam.
