New Headlights?

No.
But my thoughts were...
ToreB's HID bulbs and ballast kit.
Morimoto lenses and solenoid cut-off.
(I have also bought new lenses, but not yet fitted)
This combi yields more than enough light, in the correct place on the ground, in every situation. With the solenoid full-beam cut-off, the actual full-beam part of the headlight is not needed. Bulbs included. Seriously.
It is rare than a mod exceeds your expectations when fitted - the Morimotos with Tore's HID kit certainly do this.

Agreeing with others. Not liking that look, plus cheaper to do lenses and Tore's kit. Be sure to clean the stock projector lens as it will surely have some dust / film on it ( if not using the Morimoto). I do drive the car occasionally at night.

Looks like I'll stick with the current setup for a while.

Forgive the dirty car - it's pollen season and the car is up on jacks having the calipers rebuilt at PMB Performance.

No. Tore’s kit is the way to go. Prefer the stock look.

The alignment procedure is pretty tricky. Measure cutoff height at 25’ and make sure it’s 2” below the height of the headlamp center. If not, remove headlight and adjust vert and horizontal screws to correct. Repeat until correct.
I wonder how many folk do that?

I don’t like these. The lens is too flat, it just does not look right at all.
I have yet to find good headlights.
First I ran the full morimoto kit, it was hot garbage.
Then I kept the morimoto lenses but switched everything else to Tore. It’s much better but the headlights flicker (and yes I replaced the connectors).
I won’t be happy until 9Eleven headlights releases their 993 headlights but they have been promising those for several years now.

I can only tell you what to order from 2018, and that was a MINI H1 7.0 BI-XENON projector. On my Morimoto box it does say 'made in China' so you may be able to find those projectors somewhere today even if Morimoto no longer stock them.
ETA - it's probably this - they are on V8.0 now?
