what kit will get me looking like the tl and cl's?

If you are referring to the purple hue that you get when the cars are at an angle....you would need nothing short of a true conversion, i.e. taking a kit from a tl or cl and retrofitting it to your car. Even then, you may not get the same result since the color is caused by etchings and other such thing in the housings.

The only way for you to get it "colored" as such would be to get a higher K HID kit. Go no higher than 6000K b/c any higher you lose too much usable light.

For more info on retrofits and conversions do a search here.

my mom has a TL and I was just gonna ask if anybody knew what color temp the bulbs were stock?

they have a slight purple hue, but their not like the 6000K kits ive seen, so if it's done with etchings that makes sense. but either way they look nasty.

I was thinking of setting up a group buy with a genuine phillips (acura's OEM supplier) distributor (I know because they are linked from phillips' site). they said that with as little as 5 people we could get 5% off (not bad, not great) BUT we'd also get phillips halogens for our highbeams and phillips clear blinker lights for free.

I think the 4200K would end up being $425 and the 6000K would end up being ~$515. I don't think that's bad at all considering that its real phillips so their are no worries about getting fake gear.
