Default Re: Working on Engine/Things - Few Issues - Please Help!

OK, so, I have been working on my car for the last few days off and on, as some of you may know. I have learned a LOT, this being my first time really doing anything under the hood that isn't electrical (computer guy).

I've resealed the breather covers on the valve covers, replaced the spark plugs and ignition wires and the cabin air filter. I also, think I probably win the prize for the nastiest air filter (it had leaves in it... just bought this car).

So, anyway, I am missing what appears to be some sort of connector for a hose, can't find it, don't know what it looks like, and I have a wire that is unplugged that I don't know where it goes (I think it's the horn wire, as the horn hasn't worked since I bought the car). Also, the wires that connect up to the ignition switches (the black boxes), for the ignition wires themselves, the little part that holds them onto these blocks snapped as the plastic was just worn out... anyone have any solutions for this? It seems I would have to rewire the connectors onto the wires and pin it up correctly as the wires run deep back into the car...

Anyway, pictures of the first two issues on their way. Thanks a lot for the help!!
To get photos that fit in the standard width of the forum page use the following method, it works a treat. It automatically resizes photos that are too big.
Here is a photo of the missing part. OK I see you have found it while I was taking the pics.
I can find no wire that matches the red wire, where does it come from?
Is it a wire that was used with HID's that have been removed?
Logically if the connection for it exists then it should lie in the radius that this wire can reach, if nothing matches it then something else is missing.
Do the rubber caps on the back of the low beam headlights have holes cut in them for wires to pass through? If so that is for the HID's which have been removed.


Here are the coil packs
