Bumper Problems

Postby xvxxv » Fri Jan 17, 2014 5:15 pm

I need some help. I recently installed new headlights to my 05 liberty and now the bumper is not holding in properly, to my expectations. The headlights seem to be perfectly in place and I don't see how they could be the problem..

There is a little clip right about where your index finger is that if you push the bar in it should 'grab'. Perhaps it came out if you had the bar off?

Did you check the clips on the new headlights? I'm assuming when you say new you mean second hand?

If the clips are broken on the headlight, the bumper will not attach to them.

I didn't see any clips on the headlights. I bought the headlight from America, a little moding had to be done with the indicators and daytime running lights.

there is a clip on the inside underneath the corner of the headlights, but its just not grabbing the clip like its suppose to.

Did you swap over the projectors too? You do realize LHD cars have an opposite beam pattern right?
