the H6054 ebay projector replacement is simply a magnifiying lens in front of the bulb, and not real projector lenses, or lights

I tried simmiilar ones on MY corolla, They have nice light cutoff. For a cheap H4 conversion i would recomend them.. For much more money i would buy the Raybrig,(forgot the brand) H4 conversion Headlights, they look stock, but have a H4 bulb.

On my S5 Rx7 i used The Koito headlight that came with my front clip, I think the Koito headlights are the OEM ones, light was much brighter than the old aftermarket headlights My Rx-7 had..

For a light pattern like the RX-8 u need some projectors with Hid light bulb, ballast and igniter. You would need to retrofit the projectors onto your car, i dont know how hard it would be. But it wont be cheap, speacially if you want High and low beam from the same Hid bulb. Good luck.
