Enable me: new headlight retrofit

So this is what my X5's headlights look like right now. Running on Hella RS6 projectors, blacked out high beam bowl, white CCFL angel eyes, amber turn signal bulb, and amber sidemarkers.







My cutoff is sharp, but my hotspot isn't focused as much as I'd like on one projector. I've read up recently and found that RS6 bowls are still nice since they are chromed compared to E55 projectors. I can fix the hotspot by bending my cutoff shield towards the bulb, or by spacing out my lens. I also need to rotate my cutoff shield to get a level beam since now it has gotten off by 1-2 degrees on one side. I also have a burnt out CCFL angel eye, so I've been only running the outer pair.

So I'm at a predicament with what I should do.
  1. Keep the RS6 projectors and tune them properly. Add amber demon eyes and run amber LED angel eys on the high beam bowl only.
  2. Upgrade to FX-R projectors. Add amber demon eyes and run amber LED angel eyes on the high beam bowl only.
  3. Pick your projector and lighting option for me to retrofit!
