Default TSX projector retrofit: should I go for it?

Here's what the end result will be if I do decide to go for it. 99AznAccord would be doing it for me.

On the car:






And pics of the output:












Now, the pricing:
- TSX projectors - $225
- OEM headlights - $76
- Hella Gen 3 HIDs - $210
- Labor - $150

Total: $561 plus shipping.

Keep in mind, prices will vary depending on how much I get the needed parts for. And my friend is willing to buy my McCulloch 5300k kit for $200, and he'll throw in a set of 9005 Silverstars, if I decide to go for it.

What do you guys think? ? ?

TSX:


TL:


As you can see, there is much less of an angle with the TL headlights, so they are indeed thinner.

Well, I def need a new set of headlights. There is so much damn glare with the stock housings. I'll post pics of that just to show you guys how bad it is.

I've decided to go with projectors because the beam pattern is so nice with them. My friend wants me to grab some TYCs, and call it a day. The hell with that. If I get projectors, I'm going all out. I want quality. I can choose from S2K, AMG E55, TSX, etc. projectors. Haha. But the guy said that the TSX ones are the best he has used so far.
