HYB is a code used in Xenon headlamps. I wouldn't put much thought into it, most likely someone has put an aftermarket light kit in your 2000 Acura before your ownership and it's now creating an issue for you to find replacements. Amazon is fine, they're all aftermarket bulbs and can be interchanged just as long as the new bulb is HYB followed by whatever bulb size you have. The shop is trying to make a quick $150 off you, don't do it.
