TL highbeams are the same as low beams, HID bi xenons, which means it uses the same bulbs, just opens the sheild up with the use of a solenoid.

Since they are HID you dont want to use them as DRL.

on other cars, the DRL are the high beams in lower intensity.

In that case, sure it would work fine. Just hook up the wires to the high beams instead of the fogs.

Its costing me like $5 bucks more, but at least they should have it.

Autobarn is also local to those in Long Island NY, so they can swing by and pick it up and save like $7 bucks on shipping, I just didnt want to take the chance to drive there and them not having it in stock.

Discount offer for AutoBarn.com

David here from AutoBarn.com. I am an Acura owner. In fact I'm on my sixth Acura since I bought a 1987 2-Door Acura Legend. I currently own a '04 TL and '04 MDX. I have set up a coupon code on our site for Acurazine forum members. The code is acurazine and can be entered when checking out for a 10% discount on any order of more than $25. The coupon is good through June 30, 2006

By the way we have plenty of these in stock.

DesignTech Reduced HOP20013VA 1 29.95

Enjoy!
