I did a lot of checking and couldn't find anything that I thought would be satisfactory, so I bought the OEM and just switched them out. It was easy. I now see that KARGLAS in Germany is offering projector headlights. You might find something on their website that you like.

I didn't think I would like the OEM xenons having seen them from the front. However, once I had them installed, I really like them much better than the halogens. They are not as good as my wife's BMW projector lights but, still a good improvement. BTW, I didn't know Steve offered these, I bought mine from B e k k e r' s.

I did a search to find Karglas. I don't remember the website, though it was in German.
I paid about $800 each for the xenons. They are not self leveling. My wife has a BMW with factory xenons and they are self leveling and I can't tell the difference.
I bought the lights from B E K K E R S.
