Dont suppose you took any pics on how to remove the headlights did you? I'd like to remove mine to take the front lens off so I can polish it up on the inside as it's looking a bit yellow.
No photos, sorry but its straightforward. 3 fasteners in the underhood area (you can see them), the electrical plugs, and one bolt one hidden underneath that you can access via the turnsignal assy that needs to be removed (a couple of phillips head screws, a plug). It is pointed up towards the bottom of the headlamp housing, if you remove the 3 upper fasteners the headlamp housing will be a bit loose and you can flex the housing (carefully!) and this will tell you about where the remaining bolt is and then you can find it with your hand. All are 6mm thread/10mm spanner/socket size.

As for replacing the whole projector unit, this is something I'm currently doing and upgrading to BMW Bi-Xenons with LHD/RHD capability inbuilt.
It's quite a big job but the results should be worth it.
Cool. Please post pics and info when you finish! I'd really like to reverse the beam cutoff since its on the wrong side here.
