Thanks for the video. Somehow the lower center “egg crate” grille is broken on mine and missing a few of the plastic pieces. Wasn’t sure if this repair required a complete bumper removal. The part itself is only around $150, but the dealership quote me 3 hours labor and that seemed high.
Hi, glad the video helped. I would say it's a 2 hour job, and 3 doesn't seem ridiculous. You might be able to do it yourself, if you have some basic tools: 10mm, 12mm and small flat head screwdriver. You'll want a blanket to lay down the parts to avoid scratches. If you can ask the dealer to do it in 2 hours, show them this video, maybe it'll help! :-) It's better if the plastic is screwed into the other parts. if it snaps into place, it's really quite frustrating. Good luck! Thanks for watching.
It’s so funny you uploaded this two days ago. Three days ago, some drunk guy backed into my LC and I’ve been looking for videos on how to snap the corner bumper back in place. Mine is 1mm off from sitting flush against the fog light panel.
@aregal Happy to lend some opinion to this... if I were you, I would loosen the entire bumper as outlined and reset the position. There are a ton of little "pins" that pop into holes and a few tabs that clip in. I'm hoping nothing cracked. As an option, perhaps some rubber grommets or silicone could be put in those holes to snug them up a bit. I do think if you loosen everything, it might be possible to shift it back into place.
The Nilight Light Bar came with with bar & license plate. For the rear, I just took some aluminum strips that I had (6 inches long or so) and used them to brace from the inside to distribute the force and increase rigidity. You can buy a strip at Home Depot and cut it. i would use a 1/4 inch version or so and you should be set!

@ yeah, that’s what I’m thinking. Maybe I’ll take a gander again it again tonight.
nice job, where did you get that mount? did you made it yourself?
