The reflector was designed for hid in mind it uses D2R bulbs
d2r bulb has that blacked out spot near the base to reduce glare. Projectors weren't favoured before because it was harder to produce and get a even light output and it looked weird when the base car had reflectors its just easier to redesign the reflector bowl.
hid in a halogen projectors generally produces something like this

Simply because the halogen projector has a slit above the cut off known as "squirrel finders" its meant to let some light go further ahead but since hid bulbs are a lot brighter it generally produces a hot spot.
