Default retrofit 2013 accord

Hi guys,
Anyone here with experience replacing the 2013+ honda accord projector? I am thinking of upgrading to HID projector. Will be first time doing this, and I've been searching around, but couldn't find much info. What I found is I can use the 09 TL projector on this Accord. My main question would be would there any modification to get those HID projectors in or are they fit with little modifications?

Thanks,
Danny

Not sure if I should start new post, but if I need to, please let me know mods.

I recently bought the acura 4g tl projectors off of eBay, and the rest of the hid kit from TRS, with Morimoto 35w D2S 5500k bulb. I also bought the tsx clear lens. I noticed the tick marks on the tsx lens isn't line up with the tl projector. It will fit but will not match. So does this mean I got the wrong projectors or it doesn't matter?
I will try to post up some pictures later.

First pic is the clear lense. 2nd picture, how do I know which side is left or right? 3rd pic from left is the original lens, and the pic to the right is the tsx clear lens that have probably 3-4 spacers in between. The last picture is the clear lens without spacer (the top cutoff line), and this one is not focus at all at the cutoff line. I have no idea what is wrong, unless I got the wrong part or am I doing something wrong here?

the tabs dont matter. with any projector, to get the most of it, you need to tune them. that means playing with lens spacers, spacers between the projector halves, and also messing with the shield. it shouldnt matter which side it is.

Thanks Joon Joon. I played around with the spacing between the projector halves and the spacing the shield, the best i could do is got the step more focus and a bit cleaner cut near the step but still unfocus about 2ft away from the step =(
