Question Headlight Interchangable?

I need a passenger headlight for my 96 Acura TL 2.5 and cannot find it aftermarket. Does anyone know if a Honda light or other Acura is interchangable or where I could possibly purchase one (other than a dealer)?

I believe she means the actual housing, at least that is how I read it.

Clarification?

eBay, junkyards, parts websites, dealers

Try acuraautomotiveparts.org . There is another one, but I forget what it is.

No other headlight is going to fit this car.

The foglights are H3C, which are tough to find. You can get the H3s to work...there is a thread somewhere that gives instructions how to make them work. The headlight bulbs are H4.

I am trying to replace a headlight bulb 1997 3.2TL on the passenger's side. I found it very difficult to remove the old bulb due to the very limited space to work. Anybody have any suggestion. please share. thanks
