      DONT FIX THAT! (now that i got your attention) you need to unhook the battery and be very careful, thats the airbag sensor, and if the wires touch you will set the airbags off. you have another sensor on the other side in the same place to compare wire colors to.. just dont rip those out.

      make sure you disconnect the battery, and wait a while before playing with it. And make absolutely sure you dont touch those wires together.

      Holy wooballs was I lucky!! That would have been a very expensive mistake
      I taped off the wires separately right away, but I am so glad I didn't try to do anything. Weird how losing that sensor cut out the high beams but I tested them before the install and they worked so occams razor says its the sensor.
      I hope the connector is just pressure fit for the stripped wires so I don't have to take it apart. Thanks petrified.rabbit!

      I found that out the hard way when I put my headers on. NOT COOL is all I can say. Well at least I have more storage in my dash now, hahaha.
