Correct ballast off TRS?

Just making sure this is compatible with my car:
Morimoto 3Five D2S Ballasts

Its the D2S: Morimoto 3Five DSP ballast.
I own a 2003 Acura TL-S. Is this compatible with their D2R bulb (which I'd buy as well)?

All TRS other ballasts list what bulbs they're compatible with; except for this one. Wanted to be 100% sure this is for both D2S and D2R.

The bulbs:
D2R: Morimoto 3Five - HID Bulbs - Components

Thanks!

Yes sir, you've got the right stuff.

FYI, D2R, D2S, and D2C bulbs fit the same into the ignitor unit (the two round dowels sticking out 180 degrees opposite to each other affect that fitment). It's the flange cutouts that differ and affect fitment into the headlight housing. Therefore, in order to use D2S bulbs in our housing, you must make a cut on the flange. This is not necessary however for the item combination you quoted. Further FYI, D2C has the flange cutouts for both D2S and D2R fitment. Glad you're sticking with D2R to stop glare, thanks.
