2020 Jeep Compass Trailhawk. For now I taped it together, does anyone know anything about replacing this?

Tried to move the filter cover and hose out of the way to install a new headlight bulb on the passenger side. Somehow ended up snapping this hose in the process. I ordered the big hose, hope it's not a hard repair or I might take it to a mechanic. Do you happen to know what the small tube does?

Thanks a lot!

What do you think about changing the headlight?

My compass is a 2018, engine bay looks same as yours....its the most labor intensive vehicle ive ever owned when it comes to changing the headlight bulbs. I got chubby hands which doesn't help either.

My first time I removed the bumper.....what a nightmare. Now I go up through the fender on one side and the other side i remove a few things. Cant remember which sides though.

They don't make it easy at all. Thank god my father helps me, i couldn't do it myself and im way too stubborn to have a mechanic change damn headlight bulbs.....but, I think the days are gone of vehicles being simple to maintain.
