Yup! I've seen some posts here of people retrofitting projectors into the headlight housing. Looks clean, especially the cut off of the light.
I personally wouldn't retrofit projectors into a 2001 TL because projectors don't seem to fit the look & style of the zenki. Projectors look amazing on the 2002-2003 TLs, though!
However, I would bake and clear out the side reflectors on the 2001 TL headlights to give it a clean uniform look all around. Looks much more "era appropriate" in my opinion haha.
But yes! Retrofit is definitely an option! OP, look up Morimoto projectors and just go from there. It's definitely gonna be a fun DIY project if you do decide to do it.

you can put in in the oven to soften the glue around the headlight...
or you can use a heat gun to do the same thing...
all you want to do is soften the glue so you can split the headlight open.
once it's soften, use your fingers to pry the lenses apart. then you can use your fingers to take out the orange reflectors and paint things black, if you wish..
then you use a butyl rubber to seal the headlight back up
