Which connectors snapped off?
- Old Bulb, throw it away you don't need it.
- New Bulb, throw it away and get another one. You can't repair it, unless you want to do something really custom like soldering the connector from the old bulb onto the new bulb, which may or may not work depending on the bulb and how it broke. If you mean the metal pins, then most-likely, just throw it away and get a new bulb.
- Car, replace connectors.

Would you be able to grab any pictures? Or is it not noticeable enough? I can't really understand 100% what broke.
If the wiring harness on the CAR itself broke, you'll just have to splice a new one in. Look for a parts car in the LSX Parts for Sale and just ask them to cut one off for you. (if that's the problem)

the 2 connectors on the bulb snapped off? the connectors the pigtail plugs into? just buy a new bulb, they cost $10 (unless you got sylvania silverstars which are a huge rip off)

yeah they broke off instead of coming off. when i read up on putting the bulb in they said you are supposed to put it in until you hear it clip in but mine wont do that

im telling you, your putting them on backwards. i did the same **** not even a week ago. rotate the connector 180* and it should snap right into place. make sure the 2 prongs are lined up right on the bulb, and make sure the rubber weatherstrip ring on the connector isnt bunching up
