First and most important question..is the daughter ok?.. if so the rest is just nuts and bolts...if the car was in a head on and you dont have the ability to check the headlamps... go down and buy two bulbs for the head lamp assys... and plug them in and see if they work as advertized.. cover up the sensor on the dash and see if the auto function still works!!.. if it does then chances are it was working when the accident happened.. Just because its been in a accident dont mean the auto function dont work. unless of course you have cut wires etc from the accident.. also i dont know enuff about theses cars but if it is equipped with a bcm(body contol module) the dealer can tell you if the lights where on when the accident occured. some are time dated in the bcm.. ask a dealer if the car hasnt ran since the accident then it should have the most current info stored in the bcm... Never hurts to try.. just a suggestion..../r dan
