hey NavZ,
HID and Xenon is the same thing. you can choose what "brightness" or colour temperature you want your light output to be. 5000K is pure white and 6000K has a tint of blue in it. anything higher than 6000K is illegal i heard. the HID kit is your best bet to having better and brighter lighting.
you get the normal ones and the canbus ones. for your BMW you would need the CANBUS ones. our BMW cars are very sensitive. they tell you when you have changed something in the car that it does not like. so to "fool" the computer box we add in an error cancellor. this is a CANBUS kit.
a projector is as the name suggests. it projects the light going through it. a car with xenon headlights and no projectors scatter the light in all direction and even into oncoming drivers' eyes. so to control where we want the light to be (on the road) we put in these projectors with a shutter between the lens (glass "ball") and the xenon bulb. when we need the brights we energise a solenoid that pulls the shutter down and lets "more" light through.
a projector without a shroud (or mask) looks shit. the shroud is the thing that fits around the projector to make it look good.
hope this helps buddy.
