Either way with the sti-r or oem polished the projector must be tuned.

These must use a different lens holder then. My STI-Rs dropped right into my set of RXs. No trimming or tuning required. It was one of the easiest projector mods I'd ever done.

That might just be the difference between the RX350 bix's and the BRZ bix's. The bowl and solenoid look identical though.

Check output, and make sure the lenses don't move around. If you want I can grab one of my RXs and take some pics later tonight.

You dont need a pitch black space to test them. Just go about 25ft from a wall and fire those puppies up. As long as its somewhat dark, you can see the light spread and tweak from there, if needed.
