    Euro Bumper questions

    1. Front bumper:

    Is there supposed to be a covering for the one encircled in red? Is it the number 17 in the diagram?




    2. Rear Bumper:

    I know there is a slight modification required for installing the rear bumper, i understand that new holes need to be drilled. I would like to know if there is any measurement on where exactly to drill? What is the exact position where exactly to drill the hole?

    Thank you.

    1. Yes
    2. IIRC there is a dimple you can drill out for the euro bumper on the back in the body.

        Thank you!

        Did you guys drilled new holes for the front plate?

        Please confirm this - Signal light cover for euro bumper is the same with the late signal light cover.

          The lense, yes. The whole assembly, no.

              Sorry, that wasn't me. I did buy the whole turnsignal light assemblys new though. My only parking lights are my citylights in the headlights. And all of my connectors came with my euro ellips lights when i got them. You will find out that the turn/parking light connector now will not fit and you'll have to shave the one end off with the parking light wire and trim the connector to fit.

                Yeah, I did shave my stock connectors and now fit perfectly with the euro turnsignals. im just annoyed not having any parklights. i have US ellipsoids and trying to find a way to insert a city light into the euro turnsignals instead of buying a euro smileys.

                      You maybe able to use the socket and wiring for the side marker light for a parking light. See if you can't make a hole on the turnsignal backing for it to go into. Probably will have to make a stencil of the hole in the side marker and then transfer it to the back of the turnsignal and cut it out with a die grinder or Dremel. I don't know if that would work or not?

                        I think that will be too complicated for me. ill just consider getting a euro smiley if i cant find a way. thank for answering all my questions.
