High/Low Beam Solenoid for 3rd Gen TL??

Where can I get a new electric solenoid for the Headlight? Do I need to get a whole new light assembly?

The drivers side is making a sound as if its a bad solenoid. Could it be mechanically stuck? If So do I need to get a complete light assembly?
Its a 2007 Acura TL

I had a bad ballast or Igniter & decided to get the HIDextra D2s Kit instead of the costly OEM parts.

The passengers side switches; but the Drivers side doesn't & that is where I am hearing the clunking sound. I have only replaced the drivers side Ballast & Bulb with the HIDextra D2s kit as I broke the other bulb. Waiting on the replacements. Could the fact that I have 1 Factory Ballast, Bulb & Igniter affect this?

I can sell you one if you want! No you don't need to buy a whole new assembly but you WILL have to bake your headlight and get to the projector to take it apart to replace the solenoid.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Bake your head light". I do have it all apart & the headlight assembly out of the TL. I'm going to test the relay tonight.
