What type of headlight bulbs do your TLs use?
I'm interested in purchasing an HID from Autlamps-online.com, but something crossed my mind. I wonder if I could purchase an HID kit used on TLs from a salvage yard and retrofit it somehow if it's possible.

You can, you will need to get the ballast/wiring harness/bulb. However, due to your stock headlights are not meant to be for HID, the beam pattern might be off.

But are Acura TL bulbs the 9006 type? If so, then they should fit right in, and since TL bulbs are the reflective type, I shouldn't get too much glare if aimed properly.

I don't believe they are the 9006. I think it is either DSR or D2R. Again, I could be wrong.

Thanks. That's pretty much what I figured. I was hoping there would be an easier way, but there isn't. As far as 6000K over 4100K, I would go with the 4100K because it's brighter and the pigs will stay off my back. 6000K is too purple for my taste.
