Help Needed with Ebay Steel Bumper

[Byrds8]

I am trying to assemble a bumper that I got off ebay. I am having issues trying to get the fog lights in the adapters and then get them lined up with the wholes in the bumper. No matter what I have tried, they just dont seem to line up. Any help to get this assembled would be greatly appreciated.

Its not assembled to post anything. When I put the fog light in the bracket and put the bracket in the bumper, it is not centered in the circle.

Its hard to tell by the images but its not centered and part of the light is obstructed by the metal bumper.

Guess after fighting with it we went ahead and put it together. Doesnt look quite like I thought it should for the fog light trim. The openings do not really look circular. Guess it doesnt hurt it any. Didnt drive it tonight to see lol.

Off of eBay? It's probably a Chinesium bumper. I purchased one of them after my JK front bumper was the victim of a hit and run. My lights did not fit correctly either. The bumper began turning into a rusty mess after one winter. Most likely there isn't a fix other than to complain to the seller on eBay.

Already Told them what I think of their bumper. I won’t be leaving a great review either. Luckily no salt here during winter. Hopefully it does t start rusting. If it does u guess I’ll be getting a MOPAR one after all.

Classic case of NO tape measure in his toolbox, crooked thumb, bad eye, and the other eye pointed in another direction.

Actually, its more a case of poor fitmit from the bumper. I got it as close as it could be and finished putting it together. Lesson learned on buying anything knock off like this.

Yep, did the same thing. Ended out spending twice as much for a MOPAR steel front bumper that fit great. Chinese crap is still siting in my garage.

I learned the hard way everything from eBay or CHINAmazon isn’t made to any spec by people who only care about surviving another day in whatever hell hole they are trapped in. FYI-They also tend to powder coat the threads of welded on nuts and bolts so be sure to hit them with a plumber’s torch and wire brush before cross threading them. I’m done with the headaches from that stuff and when I have to replace it, which I will, it will be with more expensive but US quality products.

 

[Byrds8]

Yeah, considering the way this one is, I have contemplated saving up to get the MOPAR one and just chunking this one.

Went ahead and purchased the MOPAR bumper. Does anyone know how to get the fog light bezels off without taking out the inside metal brackets? I want to paint these like I did for that crap other bumper. Thanks.
