Default acura tl ballasts and bulb questions, as well as audi projector questions!!

well i just went to a junkyard and found a set of ballast bulbs and wiring for a 3.2TL and also managed to get a set of audi hid projectors (bulbs wiring and ballasts were gone already)

just wondering if any of this stuff is any good and how would i get the correct bulb that would work with the ballasts to also work in the audi projector


(will be doing research but any help is appreciated as im a newb to retrofits)

The projectors are H7 so you would need an adapter, the HIDPlanet store is down right now so try the WTB forum or ebay. The bulbs will work you you shouldnt have to do any thing to them. If they were D2S projectors you would have to make a small notch on the bulb. I would test the bulbs and ballasts before going to far, they look pretty rusty.

ya i was on hid planet and they told me they were and h7, would they be a better projector then the current ones in my integra? if not then i want to get a true hid projector such as the tsx or s2k, but i dont really want to spend 200-300 just on projectors

They are better than the OE integra units, but no where near S2ks. TSX would be a medium between the 2, but closer to the valeo. This is just like all other car mods you gotta pay to play. I got a set of Sc430s (as close as you can get to S2k without being the real thing), but they are in the price range you listed.

ya it seems the s2k are about as good as it gets for oem hid projectors, i guess i will save up a little bit more money and get some tsx or similar projectors

The absolute best HID lighting on the market today is the current gen Lexus LS. It throws out a beam even wider than the S2K. S2K comes in 2nd in my book, but still awesome.
