Yes, definitely try Bavarian Autosport (I've ordered from them for years and they are an EXCELLENT company made up of genuine BMW enthusiasts). Their catalog has some things not on their website--they now have the angel eyes rings (mimicking the '01 5-Series and '02 7-Series) that can be retrofitted to earlier exposed-headlight BMW's. They also DID have a true-xenon upgrade kit (costing about $700) for the ellipsoid headlight BMW's (including the E34 5-Series), but I don't see that anymore. PIAA xtreme white bulbs are probably a solid (and much cheaper) alternative anyway, and I'll probably get them for my 535i.

I too love the headlights-behind-glass look of the late nineties BMW's, but the 1989-1995 5-Series isn't really designed in a way that any such retrofit would look good, in my opinion. I'd rather enjoy the way my car looks now, and save for a 1997+.
