Exactly! The 2007 Acura TL-S for sure takes H8's! I've tried H11's and they did not fit...

ok, question -- I have ordered an HID fog light kit w/H11 bulbs. I also ordered a relay kit for H11 connectors (from a different retailer). However, the retailer that I ordered the relay kit from, has said that their H11 connectors will fit H8 fittings. Does this mean that despite the actual connections on the OEM fogs being H8, this H11 relay kit could make my H11 fog light kit work??

So do you need a HID kit to replace the D2s or D2c or just the bulb? And do you need a LED bulb to replace the signal light right?

I just went with an H8 bulb so there wouldn't be any issue. There is no reason to goto an H11 HID due to you will get the same light output

i dont know yet. i havent taken the time to take the bumper off & find out. i've read in this thread that H11's fit, and that people have gotten them to work. then i've read that H11's absolutely will NOT fit. i was hoping to get a concrete answer one way or the other so that i'm not taking the bumper off in vain.

but i've been sitting on my H11 HID kit for 2 wks now, trying to get it exchanged for an H8 kit. i'm really tempted to take the front bumper off tonight & just see for myself.

honestly i would just take it off and try it. or you can just try to do one side to test the connection by turning wheel to the appropriate direction( driver side-right , pass-left). but this you can remove the under parts to the bumper and inner fender to see if you can get the bulb in the housing and see if the plugs work too before you go and remove the entire bumper(which takes me about 10 mins now)

that's probably what i'll end up doing, just testing the fitment on one connection.

I got mine from xenonspecs. got the 6000k for my fogs. they are bright and looks great. I think it would look even brighter without the circular metal piece in the
