    You don't need to worry about the reflectors just so long as you cut carefully and use the shrouds from the projectors you're retrofitting.

    TSX and S2000. Make sure you can get the matching shrouds too.

    I'm using Acura MDX projectors/Celica Lens/Xentec 8k H11 HIDs. The Celica Lens is one of the clearest on the market along with the S2000 lens. The HIDs fxn perfectly and there is very little to no glare.

    The best projectors out there is what RT110 said, the TSX and S2OOO and go the D2S route.

    The Celica fish eye has the notorious floating "UFO lights" from holes in the projector housing. Did you cover those up?

    I guess I didn't explain myself well. I'm using the Acura MDX projector but switched out the glass lens from the Celica projector.

    TSX projectors are the most commonly used because there easier and a little more simple than others...
