    Their threaded, but on the top of the bumper. I haveonly seen them on this one. They are threaded on the top of the front bumper, one has a cap on it with what looks like something broken on it. The other one has nothing but threads on it. I took a pic, but my phone will not let me upload it. I'll have to wait until I can get to a comp, tomorrow.

    Sounds like it was added by a previous owner. Pics will help with ID.

    Do you mean on each end by the headlights? There are two plastic pieces that go under the headlights

    They are kind of below the headlights more below the edge of the hood, not sure if we mean the same thing. Sorry it took so long but here are the pics.
    The first one is a close up of the clip.

    Re: bumper clips

    Anything connected to them under the bumper. Do they look like the base for a deer horn/whistle or aftermarket headlight washer system.

    Re: bumper clips

    Nothing that i can tell. I can't see anything, and i can't really get my hand up there though the opening. Nothing under the bumper, and nothing that i can tell under the car that goes there either.
