Unknown electrical plug HELP

I bought an 02 civic LX that was wrecked at some point. Previous owner put on an aftermarket bumper but there are plugs hanging in the wheel well that I need help identifying. Thanks

No lights on the dash and only unused button is a little hidden one I think was for an aftermarket alarm. The plugs are all factory plugs and I wasn’t sure if the LX had fog lights as an option.

Re: Unknown electrical plug HELP

Yes the headlights, high beam, parking lights and turn signals all work. There is no place for fog lights or side markers and I wasn’t even able to find another car like it that even had those options.

Re: Unknown electrical plug HELP

Driver side looks like it's for the day running/parking light. Passenger side I can't tell from the pictures, not a good enough look.

Could it be the actuators for the Airbag? You know the sensors that activates the airbags once it detects a collision? Just my grain of sand...

Here is were it should be connected to...

SRS connectors/harnesses are usually yellow in colour. I think you can see the SRS connector in the background of the second photo.
