Looks good! Did you buy the TSX projectors from the dealership or a wreck?

I have 6k HID in my headlights...But my foglights also have 6k HID in it, So my illumination pattern is about the same as yours and almost as bright because of the extra light output.

Believe me, your illumination pattern (light spread pattern) vs. properly done retrofit illumination pattern will be night and day difference. About the only thing that will be similar is light temp color. No offence intended.

Here's a good read for those unfamiliar with HID's and retrofitting:
