Rep Power: 0 I lost the Metal wire
I recently changed a light bulb in a 2003 Honda Civic. The metal wire snapped off!, and now when i put the bulb in it's very loose. I placed the bulb in the rubber piece that you have to remove to get the bulb. Then i snapped the connection in. Do i really need that metal wire ??, if i do, how do i get a replacement?

you mean the metal bulb holder clip? yeah thats pretty important. the boot alone will not keep it aligned exactly where it should be. as far as i know you cant buy them separately. i can check and see if i have any extras. yup i got a spare one, its for 01-03 civic sedan headlight only. im pretty sure it wont fit coupe lights. you can have it for a few bucks to cover shipping.
