well, for awhile, Acura owners were having their headlights stolen because the theives knew there was a market for them and they were easy to steal. people would buy it off ebay and other shady shops.

now i'm not saying your TL-HID were stolen, v6master. so don't become defensive as i'm not accusing you of buying stolen parts. maybe yours is from a true salvaged TL in the junkyard. i'm just saying there's a good chance that people who buy the salvage HID's are buying stolen parts.

i know how pissed off everyone here would be if they had stuff stolen off their car.

9006 kits are so cheap these days, it's much easier to get a plug-n-play kit than to have to cut wires. either way, retrofitting won't get you a great beam pattern to drive with because the stock lamps aren't that great.
