you still have a turn signal in the headlight housing. that's about it. I would also imagine that the car would look weird with only a circle projector headlight protruding from the front instead of the entire housing.

BTW, to get the same amount of light has an HID/halogen projector will be near impossible for reflectors. countless hours will need to go in researching and testing each individual angle of the reflective angles in the housing, and there's countless numbers of reflective angles in the housing. I doubt anyone would be able to create a reflector that is on par, or better than a projector. keep in mind that the light is reflecting off of the housing in reflectors and scattering out to light up the road. in projectors, the light is being projected onto the road through an optic that controls the light output. projecting is much more efficient than reflecting. this is just all my basic understanding though, probably a lot more goes into it.
