A hanging wire on my Acura TL '04

Hello, Acurazine members. My driver side HID light isn't coming on so I took apart the bumper to check out for different problems. While checking, I seen this:

check the other side.
if the other side is connected and is working, that means it's a good chance that chewed off harness is the culprit

I don't recall the Ballast wires having yellow connectors.. Aren't those usually reserved for SRS/airbag type harnesses?

You're going to need to remove the intake resonator

I'm pretty sure that is a wire for an impact sensor for the airbags.

Thanks for the replies. I was thinking to check the other side. Gonna try it out and get back with you. Thanks again.

Sorry for the double post, but I forgot to include that as soon as I installed a new side marker on the driver side, that's when the headlight started having problems. The fog light works fine.
