Is there a way I can fix the driver door by myself? Basically, I have to roll the window down and use the outside handle to get out. The inside one stopped working.

More then likely the rod that connects to the door handle got disconnected from it. Assuming your have a 01-05 civic, at the top where the door handle is on the inside, remove the little box in there and behind it remove the screws and there is rod that should connect to the door handle, it is a shinny rod and it connects into a plastic clip that can be moved around. look and see if it is still connected, if it isnt, see if it is hanging there and just reconnect it, otherwise remove the door panel and position it back up to the top.
just got pulled over the other day for having JDM yellow headlights, the cop told me it was illegal to have yellow lights, only white, any comments on this. i was just sittin in my slab with trunk poppin and my candy paint drippin off my doors.

I am having this same problem except i opened it, and the metal rod is not disconnected from the inside handle, i can pull the inside handle completely out, how do i reconnect it to the other part it should be connected to? pictures would help please
^^^ Is the long metal rod still connected to the handle ?? If so you will need to pull the panel and see where it came loose (it goes over to the latch assembly near the edge of the door)
You should be able to look in and see where the inside handle rod goes into the latch. It is near the top. If the rod is loose from the latch...? the rods end length will match closely with where it came loose from.
