Foglights/ headlight lenses

Ok, well my foglights flat out dont work, I BELIVE they did before the car sat but they just dont currently, But anyow on both sides I belive the wires were torn apart, so what do I need to do to get those back together?

Also it'll probay be a good idea to get some new bulbs to, Im just lookin into buying an bulb that is an very light blue, what color K temp do I need for an light light blue?

Also what part # would it be for the glass lense's for the headlights/high beams? I just need two for the high beams as mine are cracked and duller then the others.

Thanks all.

SO we meet again...
-
My fog-lights don't work either. P.O said they worked and then one day they just stopped. Apparently he tried to mess with the wires and after not being able to fix it he unplugged/ripped it all out. So I'm in same position it seems. Probably why my fuel gauge isn't working either, he probably pulled more wires than he should've. I don't even wanna touch em unless i know what i'm doing. Wiring and electricity aren't my friends you could say rofl

Re: Foglights/ headlight lenses

wiring can be daunting, but with the right tools and diagrams, its gets much easier to figure out. there's a ton of good factory wiring diagrams here

as for the lighting you need, your high beams are H4651 halogen "capsules". these cars used sealed assemblies, so you'll need to replace the lens/reflector/light all as one unit. Pretty readily available from any of your local part stores
