Yes they just look better than the projectors but the beam pattern isnt as good but I dont care the car looks alot better with these and here are some pics of my old TSX retrofitted headlights they are in the ES classifieds if anyone has interest.

if you chose a HIDs in a reflective housing over a projector.....something isn't right with your projectors.

Bro, read post #7, he chose to go with the HID housing vs his custom projectors because of the look of the housing not because of the beam pattern. He prefers the projectors for beam pattern, but his retrofitted custom projectors housings dont look right for the car.

Maybe I didn't catch it. Reading in between classes. But did you swap from projector Retro to stock hid reflector?
Both hid systems have their pros and cons, personally I still find projector better. You should have swapped the projector over to the hid reflector housings. Now that makes for a mean nice setup.
looks good though

Btw that last pic of your car is nice
