Bumper pulling away from headlights

accordman1 · May 25, 2007

I recently did a 98-00 front bumper swap on my 01 accord. I also installed TYC headlights with the bumper. It was painted at the body shop and was pulling away from side of each headlight. The guy at the body shop said he will do the best he can. I got the car back and it looked a lot better then it did when I brought it to him. Now it has been in the 90's here this week and I noticed the bumper is pulling away from the lights again. Im not sure if it is because of the heat. If I push in on it and let go it just goes out again. If anyone has any good opinions on what to do let me know Thanks

the brackets that fit under your lights that hold the front bumper on, try make sure they line up correctly.

i think i know what your talking about, my driverside front bumper does that too... it pulls away from the side of the headlight and looks awful... hopefully its something fixable because i dont know how to fix mine either
