im going to pick up some clear bumper lenses for my 97 3.0 cl, how do i install them into the car when i get them? does it just pop in or is there screws involved? somebody please let me know.

 

u'll have better luck posting in the first generation forum. I cant help you because i have a 2nd generation CL. sorry bro, but I think everyone is away for christmas. I think you'll know by tonight or tmw.

 

Welcome...

I am going to move this to the 1st gen forum. Also to install, you can do a search for exact directions, but all you have to do is take the screw from the original bumper housings. Then just pop that out and take the spring off to put it on the new housing. Then you just reinstall.....sorry these instructions are very basic. You should look in your manual.

 

I just put mine in on Thursday, and followed the instructions from the owners manual.

There's only one screw in each lens; once you take out the screw, you'll find that the lenses are held in via force from a large spring and a "tab" at the opposite end of the amber lens (you'll figure them out).

You need to take the spring from each amber lenses and put them on the clears (there's a small screw holdin' on the spring to the back of the amber housing).

Finally, take the "screw guides" and screw from the ambers lenses (just push the tabs together and pull off) and put them on the clears.

Allign the clears (making sure that the spring is correctly placed against the car), and put the screws back in to hold the clears to the car.

The whole process shouldn't take more than 10 minutes.

Good Luck!

PS: Welcome to the site! Post Pics if you have them!

 

Yep. Its really easy. Just follow the instruction manual and put the stuff that isn't on the new bumper lenses from the old ones.

Tooke me 10-15 mins and I had no clue what to do.

 

In the future you can also try a search as this has been discussed many times....
