one thing wHat is the problem with putting your H in wHat?

Yes you get what you paid for so don't expect the hid to be good quality as normal kits run you twice that much. any HID with stock housing will have horrible cut off, I know I have HID in stock housing

and one last thing use the darn SEARCH button.

I have TSX projector too. One thing I hate about it is that it has a small glare on the top right corner.

cheap ballast and bulbs i'm assuming but it'll work. and cutoff has nothing to do with the kit, it won't have a cutoff because you're using reflective housing that was designed for halogens.
