Very wrong. TSX projector retrofit

Retrofits use OEM projector inside the headlight housing. It will give you same beam-pattern/cut-off whatever the projector you are using. So, if you use TSX, you get some light output as TSX, BMW is BMW, S2k is S2k.

I think you meant aftermarket HID kits, which is not even close to retrofitting OEM projectors. The kits will "reflect" the light poorly and give you hot spot, glare, poor beam-pattern etc.
