My biggest concern is getting the corners out now without damaging them because I really want to replace my stock lens with new ones. (Wish I could find some clear euro ones.)

Yes actually in concerns of light output the pre-facelift E39 low beam projectors are actually superior output on low beam than the facelifted E55 bi-xenon projectors, reason because the low beam E39 projectors have a more reflective chrome bowl surface.
Obviously EvoXR is greater than all though. If you are going all out to get these open though, definitely upgrade to EvoXR while you have it out. There was a member who also had his facelift lights open who wrapped the amber with a brushed aluminum vinyl, it looked pretty damn good, you won't find the euro clear corners unless you spend some serious coin or buy wrecked facelift lights from europe (sucks).
