I am trying to install some driving lights on my lancer. I am too careful to just screw em on when the bumper is intact... I want to mount it with a screw and a nut so it wouldnt fall out due to high vibration . I am removing the front bumper and doing it on my workbench rather than when the bumper is attached to the car, so i can do a nice job on it =). But here is my problem.

I removed my headlight housing, the 3 screws in the wheel well and the 9 screws on the top of the bumper in front of the radiator (4 of which are the plastic ones that u have to pop out) and I removed the 2 plastic things on the bottom of the bumper which are connected by 2 strips that are the same color as the car (u have to get under the car to see em) The bumper is not sliding out now... seems like there is something else holding it in. Any suggestions?

 

I don't know about the removal, but you might want to check where the air bag sensors are too.

 

Hmmm... k, Ill keep that in mind

Anyone else have any idea?



EDIT: What do the Airbag sensors look like? Are they black cylinders?

 

k, I got that ***** off FINALLY!!!! After like 4 hours!!!


The missing part that needed to be taken off are the 2 "Pinch off" screws in the vent of the radiator right in front of it (behind the fugly black plastic mesh) to get those out u gotta get needle nosed plyers and a mirror. You drop the mirror and the pliers in front of the radiator and then u position the mirror to see the SOB (The screw). Once u got it in site, use the needle nosed pliers to pinch it out. Then the bumper came off like butter.

I got my driving lights installed!!! w00t w00t! Now all thats left is to wire it into the car's lighting system. Imma make em come on with my high beams.
