Hello everyone, to make a long story short, my 2003 honda civic was involved in a car accident. Due to this when the guy at the body shop replaced the headlight wiring connections, he was unable. I'm not sure what they're called, but the clips that attach from the car onto the headlamps apparently are not the original ones. On ky turn signlas the previous owner had even used screws and forced them onto the headlamp base. My car has no headlights, turn signal light and no daytime running lights. Because i don't know which connectors/clips i need to place the bulbs in the socket. I hope this makes sense, i need the lights to work. Tomorrow i am going to the dmv to get my tags. Without any front lights i won't be able to drive until i figure this out. Thanks in advance everyone.

I'm new btw, i apologize if i posted on the wrong forum or anything of that nature.

These are the connections from the car. I believe need the ones that attached to these.

The connector don't fit obviously. .

the middle one is a bulb socket.

Other than that I can not help you. You asked how to repair it, but left out what's broken.

Is there a reason you're not returning the car to the body shop and requesting the issues be fixed properly?

The yellow two pin connector on the right is for the front impact sensor. It's typically mounted behind the crash bar along the structure of the car. Pulling the splash guards out of the fender wells should give you access to see it.



This is sort of the area to look at.


As for the 3 pin connector on the left, it looks to be something like related to the throttle body.

Sorry to have made it sound confusing, i appreciate the help. Hope this picture helps. I need the original day time running light wiring socket along with the light socket that twists and locks onto the headlamp. I have circled in red what i am referring to. Hope you guys can help me out.

@xci_ed6 The middle one is indeed a bulb socket, except it's not the original. It was forced mounted with a screw. this one has to be able to twist and lock into place. Who ever the previous owner was decided to do a quick fix to it.

@RonJ@HT It's a long story, let's just say the shop screwed me over and i really don't want them trying to do anything more to my car.

@toyomatt84 After figuring out what each connector was for, i was left with the yellow one. You my friend have answered a question i thought i would never get. Thank you, i will look for the part and hope to have it hooked back in place or order it to have it place correctly.
