I've had to buy a new bumper for my car & foglights as they were both cracked, now I've been told that the fog lamps dont fit directly on the bumper, they fit onto plastic inserts which is attached to the bumper...

Chrysler dealer is quoting over $300 for the 2 inserts, I don't really want to pay that for 2 pieces of plastic so does anyone know where i can get some second hand inserts, or know if i can somehow mount the fog lights directly onto the bumper safely?

 

I just have to ask, wheres the old bumper?

 

bought the car as a fixer upper without a front bumper, bought a replacement but no plastic inserts...

 

First of all, the front bumper is pretty usless without the energy absorbing material properly installed inside the bumper. You need 3 pieces as in the photograph below. The yellow circles show where the fog lights mount. Get all 3 pieces just for your own protection if in an accident.

 

that's exactly what I need, I have the energy absorber, I just really dont want to pay $300 from dealer... I guess I have no choice unless I buy a set of univeral headlamps, and perhaps use some strong tape to stick them to the inside of the bumper... do you think that could work?

thanks for the detailed picture by the way, much appreciated...

 

for example, I've found a decent pair of universal fog lamps, could i screw these directly onto the bumper do you think?

Personally, I would put it back the way it belongs for several reasons.

Mounting any fog light except what belongs there may not look that good, IMO. Others may work with the fabrication of brackets.

If you check on eBay, there are a few companies selling parts off of wrecked Crossfires. Email them for availability of the parts you need. It has worked for me in the past.

Good luck, James

 

i dont know whos told you this.
the foglight is one piece with its mounts, it bolts to the bumper. the energy foam just happens to use these same mounting points

 

The fog light does not bolt to the bumper cover. Look at the picture

Here is an auction with the front bumper sitting on the hatch. Email them for a price.

um, yes it does. On my car the foglight is bolted to the front cover, I broke the foam when i hit a pole, the light does not bolt to the foam, it isnt structural.

I'll even go take my bumper off to prove my point

 

Here is a picture of the inside of my front bumper cover hanging in my garage. Use this to prove your point... I told him, now tell me I am wrong.

 

I can't wait to see your pics once you get your bumper off.

 

play nice...

 

I'm waiting...

 

he's still takeing his bummper off. it takes time.

 

its raining and im too lazy to pull it in the garage at the moment.

The foglight and its mounting bracket are one piece, they dont mount to the foam. They come off with the bumper.

 

it takes me about 3 minutes to take my bumper off... I can even do it with the car on the ground, wheels on.

 

There is always tomorrow to prove your point. After all, 3 minutes off, 1 minute of pics, and 3 minutes back on. I want to see if yours is different than mine.

Dam this is better than any soap !!!! Stay tuned !!!!
