I know this is very stupid, but the oem retrofit kit costs too much (especially in Hong Kong). It really sucks to see and hear OBC alert each time you start and stop engine. I guess this is the cheapest way to get the xenon look headlight with projector. I will give a try to see if it works and if it looks good.

Thanks for your reply, bmwe53fan! What the holder looks like? Do you have a picture? And where can I buy the type 194 bulb? Thanks!
