Xenon conversion

Does anyone have an opinion about converting xenon headlights to halo projector lights? I have a 02 R53 and the passenger headlight is done. Replaced the bulbs,swapped the bulbs, came to the realization that it's the xenon igniter. $500+ for a headlight housing because the igniter is shot and was manufactured in the balast blows! For $120.00-150.00 I can install both sides. Anyone tried this? Thanks Evan

this may sound crazy but would it be possible to wire in a different hid system like the ones from DDMTuning.com? I have a 55W HID kit and my driver side headlight works most of the time but once every couple weeks it wont come on the first time I turn the lights on.
