hey guys welcome back to the channel so it's been a minute since I've messed with my bumper
on my 2is so I've been riding around with this thing for like six months now after I
did this conversion and there's been some little issues I had to fix like right around the bumper
right here at the bottom of the headlight there's been this huge gap on both sides
that's kind of developed as I've been driving it so today I'm going to take that all apart
make some adjustments on the bracket and see if I can fix this thing in addition I need to
replace this headlight right here this thing when I originally got this HC motion uh this
side didn't adjust correctly because something slipped on the inside and actually sent me a
replacement like four or five months ago I just haven't had time to get it on here so
today we'll go ahead and put that on while you have this all off so stay tuned [Music] foreign
[Applause] Gap right here is dropping below the bracket that kind of holds it all up when
I originally put this on here it was a little bit tight as far as the bracket goes but over
time has been driving it it's kind of slipped out and you can see that Gap when you go up to it and
look down the actual headlight so I'm gonna go ahead and try to take that off I'm not sure if
it's the mounting to the headlight or just the adjustment and the angle of it that's causing
this so we have it on this side and when we go over here we have it also it's not as bad over
here but you can see right around the edges it's happening and a lot of it has to do with just
me driving and then just rubbing and pushing this thing outward and losing its shape around here on
the edge Where It Bolts up and there's no play in that because it's really tight right there because
I've got the bolt right into there so right now all the force ends up pushing this over here and
it causes all these gaps so I'm going to just take this all off undo the whole bumper take it
off make my adjustments I might have to drill some new holes on the bracket just to get it in we'll
go ahead and try that today I'll go ahead and just take this all off if you guys want to see how you
take this bumper off or put it on check out my older videos when I got this 4is conversion I go
through all that stuff on the 4is conversion I'm just going ahead and just take this all
off and we'll see what's behind there so if you guys remember when I was putting this thing all
together the grills right here for this 4as bumper had a screw right here that we couldn't figure
out what the screw or what holds it on I found the part number which is this right here for the right
side on this side this is the part number for the left side right here and what it is is just
a little piece right here that goes basically like that and then it just wedges between the
bumper in there and then you put a screw through and it fits right on so I'm gonna go ahead and
just screw those in right now just as another piece of making this bumper as OEM as possible
[Music]
so I got this HC motion replacement back in July it's November now finally gotten around to opening
it up and taking out of the package and looks like I have an issue here they had uh some shipping
damage right here the lens broke so basically you can't even use this anymore just because yeah I'm
not going to put that busted ass lens on my car so they shipped it with bubble wrap and that's really
it in like a loose box and I should have checked it closely back then but I didn't and here's what
we got now so what I'm going to do I'm just go ahead leave this for now I contacted htmotion
already see if they could send me another one but I don't know it's been so long since I've had
these I'll go ahead and try to change that bracket up and see if I can fit the bumper and then just
forget about replacing the headlight for now but yeah this thing still has that bad beam and I
really want the replacement for the correct beam but yeah I'm not going to put a broken headlight
on my car so I got the headlight out and we're looking at the bottom with the Brack packet here
so my problem right now is this bracket doesn't go out forward enough to catch the bumper you
can see right here they've got guides and holes and it's really got limited adjustments so what
I'm going to do is I'm going to drill a hole right here and kind of shift this thing up more
to the front of the car that way it gets into the bumper more and a nest is better and I'm
gonna have to do that with one hole and then I might have to adjust it and then drill the other
holes just to get it to line up better it's like a quarter inch off on the car so you just push
it out more and hopefully it catches the bumper better I was able to open those holes up a little
bit with a little drummer and a little grinding tip on the end to get the holes expanded but I
was able to shift it maybe like an eighth of an inch maybe a quarter of an inch barely just
enough to get it to fit better so go ahead and tighten this down and see how it fits on the car
I'm about to do this on the opposite side to kind of have it matching and that way the bumper
will snap in better so you see I put the screws back in it's still shifted right there slightly
shifted there and it shifted there a little bit that's tight now hopefully everything lines up
and snaps in good now all right we got this thing back together still not happy with the
fitment right here I can't seem to get the bumper to snap into this bracket and fit in
there properly still has that little Gap and I can see the bracket but it's a function of this
thing not snapping incorrectly and then this thing not tucking under is just because you see right
here the fitment on the edge it just doesn't fit just because of the way my Fender is from
the big wheels and just bending the fenders out so that combined with all this other stuff kind
of throwing everything off I think on that side over here it's a little bit better you can still
see a little bit of the bracket but overall this one actually snapped in and everything fits much
better on the passenger side versus the driver's side I guess I'll just have to live with it and
leave it as is hey guys thanks for watching all the way to the end of this video trying
to adjust that bumper and getting everything to fit obviously it was a little bit of a bust today
trying to figure that out even the headlight was a bust just because of that broken one
that HC motion sent me but overall I guess I just have to deal with it we'll just drive it
the way it is hopefully it kind of settles in a little bit better anyways thanks for watching
