Time and time again someone will post on a retrofit project and usually things look great until they slap the assembly glass lens back on. Then the beautiful cut off pattern and sometimes even light output gets distorted and fuzzy. The problem is, unless you do some serious testing or R&D into the design of the projector you're using and the exact placement of the projector within the assembly...you're likely going to get results that are not as great and clean looking as the factory Xenons. Again, your light output will be strong with a retrofit but the light wont be focused and instead scattered unless you can get the projector property mounted. If you think about it, the factory Xenon's use the exact same glass assembly lens but don't affect the cut off quality or scatter the light as a retrofit will. This is because the design of the projector, placement of the bulb within the projector, and the mounted location of the projector within the assembly have all been designed to work with the glass assembly lens to produce good results. The easiest way to get the same results with a retrofit is to produce a fully clear assembly lens or one the has minimal fluting. However, this is also an expensive option. In the end it really comes down to how detailed/anal you want to be about your lighting.
