I'll show you a magic trick....
Step one: Find a trash can
Step two: Say abra-ca-dabra
Step three: Insert headlights in trash can and watch them disapear
Step four: Reinstall OEM Headlights
Aftermarket projector headlights are garbage. Period.

Going to plead ignorance here, but what does it mean to retrofit an OEM projector headlight?
Is that like taking an Acura RL OEM projector and tweaking it a big to install on my 2005 Accord?

Exactly basically opening up your stock headlights and installing some sort of projector inside your stock housing.
