Question '05 TL HID aftermarket kit? I'm confused.

One of my headlights don't work. I switched them and it worked fine so I figured its the ballast. OEM parts are way to expensive.

There is a lot of aftermarket HID kits that say work for the TL but im not sure which to order. I only got this car a week ago and don't know much about it. Is the high and low beam on the same bulb? The inner bulb never comes on are those day time running lights? Maybe that fuse is bad or unhooked.

I want to buy an aftermarket kit that comes with everything, new ballasts new bulbs and so forth. Im just not sure which to buy.

There is 6000k, 8000k, 9000 H1 H2 H3 ect... the k stat is just the color correct?

There is 35w and 55w whats better? Im not sure if the car requires a certain wattage.

Thanks for any help, I need it ASAP because I cant drive at night!

1) What exactly did you "switch"? Faulty part could be Bulb,Igniter,Ballast.
2) You drive a 2005 Acura TL, parts for this car will BE expensive,and will continue to get expensive.There's a difference in buying a car,and affording a car. If i were you, I would get the OE parts, they lasted 8 years with no problems.
3) "K" defines the bulb temperature in Kelvins.
4) I wouldn't get anything higher than 35W.
