Attempt at replacing headlight bulb....

I'm the third owner of this 2006 RSX-S.

After reading the forum DIY to replace the low beam bulb, I gave it a shot and was met by a bulb that doesn't just pull out of the socket, nor the expected power connection. Please see the pictures attached and let me know if this isn't a factory standard headlight connection.

looks like someone replaced your originals with HID's . Definitely not standard

Np, you should be be able to grab an H1 bulb and put it in with the original harness your car has without a problem

Thanks to removing the headlamp and replace the lamp failed. But it’s impossible to remove the broken pieces from the old lamp. Small holes, can a vacuum cleaner help? How to get these fragments out of the headlamp itself?
