Need help with headlights!

It is probably a simple fix, but my headlights look like this for 2009 Honda Civic LX Coupe. What can I do to fix this? It is not working on that one side. I did hit a curb pretty hard a while back, but not sure if it happened because of it. I just now noticed it.

It is also too dim, but I am going to assume that will change when I put new bulbs in (Just bought the car not too long ago), and what I use a headlight restoration kit.

- Thank You!

The bulb probably just burned out. Pull it out and look at it. A headlight restoration makes a difference in the light output, I highly recommend it.

Re: Need help with headlights!

do you mean the orange light? Bulb.
It seem you have an aftermarket headlight unit?

Yeah, just the orange part, sorry I'm not very knowledgeable. Didn't know if it was an error beyond a bulb replacement.

Always check the cheapest/easiest thing to repair first.
