replacement bumper

Post by bobfish45 »

I thought I would swap my 5.5 front bumper and lights to some oe xenons that came off Ryans 2.5 tdi currently being stripped. Nothing complicated just a straight swap, although I did buy xenon bulbs for the main beam. But for anyone dribbling about oe xenons like I used to, there's no need, hid kits do the same job much cheaper. Only the dip beam in the oe's is xenon, the main beam is halogen, hence I have put a xenon in. Anyway, a few picsImage
this is where we start,,Image
bumper and lights out,Image that's the xenons in,Image and all built up.
Whilst doing this I thought I may as well replace the windscreen trim which was broken,Image when removing broken one, insert a bodyfiller spreader between screen and trim, then a trim tool and gentle leverage will start it liftingImageThen new one in and like me, press down firmly and :hyst break windscreen
