Here is a REALLY big point that I have no pictures for. Our OEM projectors are side fed. The FX-R projectors require the bulbs to go straight in through the back. In the TSX retrofit thread, the OP had to cut the back of the housings to make the bulb fit. When Project.ORS sold me the D2H bulbs, I thought it was just a money saver. But with all the room saved by those bulbs, I ran the wires through the OEM side slot. NO CUTTING!!!! Now I know when the bulbs go out I have to bake the headlights apart, but at least I didn't have to cut and worry about moisture seeping into the headlights due to a poor back seal. Well worth it to me.
The reason for this was that the D2S bulb is longer and the aftermarket HID bulb hence lighting the bowl of the projector far better than the other bulb.
Again if this does not bother you it's fine but you probably aren't getting the amount of useable light that the retrofit should give you.

You might want to look into this or not, but I also thought about reusing my aftermarket HID kit and bulbs when I did my TSX projector retrofit. However I did a comparison with one headlight running on a D2S bulb and the other running on the bulb from my HID kit. I noticed that the leadlight with the HID kit bulb was significantly dimmer than the one with the D2S bulb.
