And yes, Rx330 AFS projectors are very good, much better than TSX.
stock tsx > stock afs/non afs rx330
stock tsx > stock fx low beam
modded afs/nonafs rx330 > stock tsx
modded fx > stock tsx

you custommake your brackets. They don't come already prefabricated. Some of you have halogen projectors and when swapped with xenon projectors, you end up molesting the stock brackets by alot or if you don't, then it is completely misaligned.

There are prefabricated brackets. There are a couple of people and one company who sells them (for the SC anyways). You're supposed to custom make the brackets but why hassle if you can make it a bolt on job with some cheap brackets. I'm actually contemplating doing a TSX retro (with cheap bracket) or trying to do a hybrid RX on my own. And are you the same striker that was arguing in my thread about my SC430/ES350 projector on hidplanet.

i know, that's the only reason i went with tsx projectors, so i can get the swap done without too much headache.
Custom fab indeed is doable, but didn't want any rooms for mistakes and thought it would be much easier this way and i've always read good reviews from tsx retro's either way.

Well, where are these famous brackets?
Because you can make cheap ones from an aluminum sheet and metal scissors

Yes, I am the same old smartass
Sorry, but that other guy just tends to make himself god only because he's been a member before me and a few others.

To answer the OP's main question, the fact that your foreground limiter(which the tsx do not have but it's somehow there) is hitting the bottom reflector, it will be insignificant. Here's an example:
My apologies for the dirty headlight. It's been a cruel winter

Beam at 15ft:


Beam at 30ft


Beam at 40ft
