Both my low-beam and high-beam headlights have burned out on my 2001 Acura 3.2 TL. I am having trouble identifying what kind of headlights I need and locating them on the web. Any help would be appreciated. Also, one of my headlights is missing what my mechanic has called a "warmer." It is basically what the bulb was screwed into. What part would that be?
Your best bet is just go to your nearest junk yard and get both headlight assemblies you can't just buy the warmer piece you have to purchase the whole thing

If your car is running daytime running light system .. there is a DTR relay that goes defective and needs replacing ... I had the identical problem that was fixed with this replacement. The DTR relay is behind the glovebox.

MAKE SHURE YOUR GROUNDED AND THE BULB IS IN RIGHT SOME BULBS YOU CAN NOT TOUCH WITH YOUR FINGERS BECAUSE OF MISTURE ON SKIN

Look for the end of the wire retainer clip. Unhook it and lift it up. Remember not to touch the bulb. But if you do, just clean it with a bit of alcohol.
btw - Here's a bit of info from a previous post of mine...
The low beams consist of three parts. The bulb, inverter/ballast and
the ignitor. The bulbs usually start to loose their color long before they burn out.
The inverters/ballasts either go out after a while or take a while to
start up.
Before you spend money on a new bulb, try swapping it with the one on
the other side. You'll need a security torx screwdriver to get the
covers off of the back of the lights. Don't touch the glass bulbs. If you do, just clean them with a bit of alcohol.
If the problem stays on that
side, try swapping the ignitors. They're mounted inside the black
covers.
If the problem is still on that side you've got a bad inverter. They're
mounted on the bottom of the headlight assembly. You'll need to remove
the front bumper and remove the headlight assembly to get to it. (I
recommend you take pictures as you remove things so can put them back
together correctly.)

in this case make sure you have voltage going to the low beam lights. 12 volts. you need a volt meter. if you do not have volatge you have to check and make sure power is going through the fuse. a bad fuse will be broke, but you can have a good fuse with no power going through it. if you have power going through the fuse you have a wiring open somewhere between fuse and whatever is between the headlight connecter.
plz check and get back i will keep checking on here on and off.
