Hey guys, apologies for the noob questions here. I've look on realoem but can't get a solid answer.

Is this a bolt that is helping to hold up the headlight unit? There is a rubber stopped on the other side. This is the same side that I have xenon vibrations and the 'stuck-left' lazy eye adaptive headlight issue on:



What is this sensor supposed to do? It is capped. On the other side of the car there is a similar sensor that actually has a sensor attached to it (don't have pic of that one):

Was that cable taped on the engine cowl on the driver side. If so it is the prewiring for the hood closure sensor for the factory alarm. Which bolt are you referring to?

Yes, the capped sensor was originally taped to the cowl. Thank you.

The other picture, I'm referring to the silver colored on that is on the fender. It has a piece of brownish metal being used as a washer underneath it.

Lol at that screw, ghetto fix from the previous owner? Maybe he broke some tabs...

The sensor is for air quality. It mounts on the cowl that the cabin air filter sits on.

The bolt is not factory, it's an half assed fix somebody did at home.

Yup. Figured that one before posting

Does anyone have the PN for the correct bolt? I can't for the life of me find it on realoem no matter where I look!

should be number 14 there but you may need other things that go there.

Well this is interesting, the right side (passenger side) is using left handed bolts there according to above link.

You're a saint, thank you!
