Headlight issues

Hi guys, new to the forums and I've been reading around, but I thought I'd reach out sooner rather than later b/c my headlight issue has turned into a problem.

First off, I got a 2006 330i (E90) sedan with xenon headlights. The right headlight started turning pinkish/red/whatever, so I knew it was going to die soon. Did some research, found that the bulbs that I want are D1S, and I ordered two of the Sylvania's off amazon. (Also read that the other bulb isn't too far behind)

My angel eye on the left side is also out, so I would like to fix it and replace it with a whiter color (also prefer LED) option. Can someone make a recommendation for a quality part that isn't too expensive? Is it easy to replace both low beam and angel eye bulbs DIY?

Also, when I was testing out my high beams, I noticed that the inner bulb did not go on, on either side... I'm a little confused because I thought the inner light was the high beams? Can someone verify that? I didn't have problems with my high beams before, but I haven't used them in a while, would they go out at the same time as my low beam?

Thanks for your advice.

Flash to pass high beam is the inner bulb (pulling the stalk towards you). High beams that stay on (pushing stalk away from you) are the bi-xenon part of the low beam projector.
