Headlight Question Need Help!

As many of you have experienced with our cars, I can no longer stand the look of my yellowish, chipped, and dull looking headlights. I have tried most of the suggested cleaning methods here...which are good but still I am wanting that crystal clear look.

So I have been looking into replacement headlights for my 2000 E55, but after researching several different options I am in need of help. My car has the OEM HID (xenons) and I want to make sure I purchase a set that is compatible with my OEM setup. I guess my point here is I do not want to downgrade into a lower quality setup.

Below are some of the ones I have looked into but they not sure if they will
work. Any feedback or help from members with similiar issue is appreciated

These are all halogen kits, meaning they won't work with your Xenon/HID stock lights.

You could buy one of these, install a set of HID projectors, and be good. See this thread:

You could also buy a set with HID retro already done, although I think most of these are probably pretty cheap and will have poor light quality. For example:
