yup, like every one says. they are for the corner lights. one side of the light slides into the round peaces and the other side is held down with a screw.

oh ok.. lol, i looked at it, and put the corner lights in, after i wet sanded and polished em up, and yeah, the one end goes in it.. lol

it threw me off, cuz my CRX doens't have anything like that, the tab on that is molded into the bumper.. those loops threw me off.

and yes, im using Audi A4 projecotors and im putting them in my Integra housings. its almost done.

Ever noticed how it looks a little bit like a BMW when the front bumper cover is off..... I didn't know those held the front lights in. Time to fix those things from falling our again. D@mn POS.

while we're on the subject of integra bumpers..

i know this is common for 94-97 front-end owners..

on my 94 integra, this middle urethane 'flap' (see pic below) is hanging down and it looks HORRIBLE. im sure the fasteners have been destroyed through normal wear and tear.

i'm thinking of just DREMELing this flap OFF. anyone know if this is a bad idea? i assume its to protect the underbody, but is this flap really necessary?

When secured, this piece aids in the stability of the lower portion of the front bumper.

hey, don't get smart with me

i realize that the flap helps the bumper stay on more securely (and offers some sort of protection to the front of the underbody), but mine just hangs and the fasteners/screws are long gone.

i think i'll just snip it off since its not really serving its purpose at the moment.
