On the aftermarket projector headlights, the projector is a cheap "lens" that doesn't really have any functional optics. If you take a look at the projector from the TSX you will see that there are two parts, the lens and the bowl. These two pieces are engineered to perform together and create the proper optics to make the nice cutoff you see, and help 'project' the light out further.
Don't worry though, if you were to attempt a retro all you would have to do is cut out that crappy projector and put an OE one in it's place. It would look cleaner than mine since it already has the shroud molded into the headlight. Check out
