Does anyone know

Where I can get the socket deal that holds the daytime running lights on an 03 civic LX. I've been frantically searching everywhere for them, and can't seem to get my hands on one. (Honda dealership fails, so that's out the window)

Re: Does anyone know

you said you have an 03, and youre looking for a connector for the daytime running lights? im confused beause in your model of car, the drl, high beams, and lowbeams are all one single connector. is that what youre looking for?

if so, its exactly what gearbox said. its the 2nd last item on that page with the blue/red/black wires.

Re: Does anyone know

no it's like these stupid little gray things that hold the bulb. At least that's what the other ones look like I'm not sure about the DRL's.



For the yellow things on the sides, I need the bulb, and the bulb holder, whatever it's called haha. I have the wire that plugs in to the bulb holder, I just need to get it done so I can get my overly expired brake tag (lol august 08) fixed so I can avoid the ticket I know is coming.




And I'm from louisiana, btw. Not canada haha.

Re: Does anyone know

so in that headlight, you have the central light working (regular low beams)..... but you have the outside light (signal) and inside light (drl) without anything in them? is that correct?

the grey thing that holds the bulb itself is called a 'socket' and every socket is a different size. you need to find out what size the sockets are for the drl spot, and the signal light spot. you bought these headlights without the sockets? they usually send sockets with them.

have you tried to fit your stock signal socket into the outside part?

Re: Does anyone know

I dont have it. Haha, after I got in my wreck my brother threw all the broken crap away

It's supposed to be OEM fit. I have all 3 inside lights and sockets, I just need the very outside one, where the yellow is. Sorry for the car vocab issues haha

Re: Does anyone know

Sounds to me like you just need a 2 wire wedge base socket that accepts 194 &168, etc bulbs.

Should be simple to get the socket... finding one that mounts in the housing would be the hard part.

Re: Does anyone know

if you are looking for the little outside amber colour, and its 'oem fitment', yeah its a 194 socket. this is what you are looking for here, right? you should be able to tell just by looking.

Re: Does anyone know

Only thing left would be a 2 pin connector ??

If you have a lamp socket and it has wires attached (like the link picture) then just splice those wires to the wires in your car, no polarity involved.

If you want connectors you can buy the male/female bullet crimp terminals at hardware store.
