Title: Flush fitting US Spec marker lights.....info???
Post by: dubstar9 on 26 June 2012, 20:21

Ok my clear bumper marker lights have turned up and I'll need to flush fit them into the bumper I'll be fitting. I can see a problem to over come and thats the fact the US Spec bumpers must have the fittings moulded into them aswell as the hole cut into them.

I have started with a basic template which will be shaped along the wheel arch and matched up to the swage line to allow me the mark them in the same place on both sides. But of course I need to think about how to keep them in place behind the hole in the bumper and stop them simply falling out.

Anyone got a How To guide to fitting these or a link if I've missed it in the search???

iv done this to two bumpers (on my way doing a third) aslong as you cut it close enough a bit of tiger seal behind them will keep them in place

Sounds like a plan as they are a good fit in the template, so keep as close to this and add tiger seal.

Any other ideas to throw in the pot??? :smiley:
