What makes you think car parts are a good investment?... and that $550 dollar is MSRP. I can buy those headlights all day long from discount Acura dealers like hondacuraworld and acuraoemparts.com for $400 each.

Not sure many are gonna pay that $500... Good luck with that price.

After spending 6 months working my headlights, I watched 3-4 sets of 2007 TL-S lights go on ebay for under $340 shipped.

Granted, they're considered used, but they appeared to be mint.

I'd pay $350 for a lightly used set. I wouldn't pay $500 for a new set.

The only way I'd spend $500 on the lights is if they came with projectors, bulbs, and ballasts. Just the housings, around $300.
