Not to mention, if you want to upgrade to HIDs later on, I did a write-up on how to install factory OEM Acura TL D2R HIDs into them, with a fairly nice beam pattern, and minimal glare (for a non-projector setup). This was also written up before they started making H4H HID kits, so if you don't care to have the quality and reliability of OEM HIDs, then go with the aftermarket ones.
btw my write-up is here: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=574577

your write up doesn't have any pics, they are all red X.
and what is this beam pattern you guys speak of? i've never noticed any beam shooting to the left on my headlights.
