bumper beam hook orientation
 

Is this the proper orientation of the bumper beam hook for a 95 hatchback? (Look at the black piece of metal right below the headlight)

Also, notice there are two holes on each end of the hook. What is the purpose of this, to accomodate the sedan bumper perhaps?

that black peice right below the headlights are to keep your headlights stationary!

as well as the other 3 bolts and 1 nut to align or secure the headlight.

what does bumper beam hook oreintation mean?

besides that, if you were to remove your bumper support ( not recommended) you will not be able to bolt that peice back into place since it bolts to the support beam.

that piece doesnt hold my headlights stationary.

it keeps the bumper oriented to the headlights.

it also keeps the bumper from sagging right below the lights.

if you look at your front bumper you will see slots for that piece.

yes you have them the right way
