I took my front bumper off to put in my foglights and now that I have put it back on it is sagging a little and it doesn't match up on the wheel well. I know that both sliders are on track. Can i adjust the bumper at all and if so how. Also for my foglights I need to wire the positive for my foglight switch to a "acc on". What wire would that be and please let me know if your a 100% sure or not because i dont feel like replacing a wiring harness and every other electrical component of my car. Thank you.

Did you just unbolt the four bolts behind your turnsignals or did you take off all the little screws that hold the plastic to the metal bumper frame?

just the bolts behind the turn lights although i did start taking off a couple screws but then realized they aren't loosening the whole bumper.

Take the turn signals back off loosen the four bolts adjust the bumper by pushing it up to where it looks right and tighten bolts. Voila you have just adjusted your front bumper.

You might want to get a friend to help you.

The holes are bigger than the bolts so you can move it slightly up, dwn , side to side.

Just make sure your actualy moving the frame of the bumper to no just making the cover point up or down.

You should be able to see the frame moving when loking through the bumper signal holes.

You in FL?
