Mine look OEM. I thought about blacking them out, but I feel that makes the turn signal stand out more. I will be painting the headlights, but Im still deciding on which way to go with it.

As previously mentioned, you dont need to. I kept the DRL relay, so I still have DRLs and I also have 4 high beam lights.

Yep, I love them. But with how bright the output is on the lowbeam, I very rarely need to use them.

As @tonystewart said, you should have received a y-cable in your kit. The female connector goes to the chassis highbeam connector. One of the male connectors goes to the stock highbeam/drl bulb and the other goes to the projector highbeam solenoid.

I did this same mod with the same projectors onto my Accord. It's not as amazing as TSX or RX projectors but is worth the money. Every once in a while TRS will sell "Less than perfect" projectors at half the price. I ordered them and they were near flawless besides a minor scuff on the side of the lens that didn't affect visibility. If you have steady hands, this mod is definitely worth it.
