i just put my aftermarket foglights in and there is a space between the foglight housing and the bumper, what can i do to make it sit flush

 

Pictures.

 

Aftermarket isn't going to be straight so you'll just have to live with it, unless you're good at figuring things out than you can probably bend the bracket here and there to get it going.

 

You need to figure out where to shave/pull/push the housing/bracket in order to make it sit properly. It's a cheapo china mold with **** quality brackets and hardware. If you wanted it to be perfect, should had gone with OEM.

 

ITT - the OP learns why we always push people to go with OEM parts.

 

I was hoping those mad supporters of the aftermarket world would come to his rescue on this one. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind using aftermarket parts, but I sure as hell aren't going to force the topic down someones throat because its costly to get oem. Just gotta know where to shop parts, nah mean???

 

QFT


OEM arent that costly for true plug and play. And theres really no good aftermarket for decent fogs anyways.

 

You could buy some Styrofoam and make a housing that fits perfect into wherever your mount point is, then mount the fog light in that and stick it in there. Could paint the Styrofoam to make it look like it's supposed to be there.

 

JDM styrofoam FTW..!

 

 

WTF is with the exposed screw?


theres an install guide in the service manual.

The service manual is found somewhere on the web for free..

 

lol it came with black screws but they were to short and wouldnt bite so i used longer ones

 

Again, figure out what is blocking or pushing the housing from seating flush... How difficult could this possibly be??? For the time it took you to make this post, take pics and answer here, you could had figure out what the problem was...

 

Is something on the back side of the bumper pushing it out?

And ... for the record, I am not against aftermarket, but you do have to do your homework, and .. . buyer beware unfortunately.
