it's the metal bracket that supports the headlight,, what's the "official name" of this? as i need one for the driver side of my TL. mine is all bent and smashed but it's still usable but my headlight doesn't sit right or align with the bumper/fender area.. (i let a friend take my car to go pick up some pizza, and what does he do.. doesn't leave the car in gear or pulls up the ebrake!,, next thing i know i have a phone call.. "uh hey.. i forgot to put the car in gear and pull the ebrake, when i came back outside your car had rolled into a hummers wheel" FML! anywho the number in the diagram is 9/15 on acuraoemparts website...& would i need number 9 OR 15 which is the driver side? here's the pic

 

ok i figured it out it's called ACURA TL BUMPER CORNER BEAM (UPPER) , here's the dumb question,, is driver side left or right?,, always had this confused, if your outside facing car it's right, if your inside sitting it's left.. anyone?

 

71190-SEP-A00ZZ BEAM, L. FR. BUMPER CORNER (UPPER)

this is the part # you want. Left is drivers side. Right is passenger.

There is another part that goes on top of that that is called a bumper spacer. It is made of plastic and usually also breaks if there is damage to the metal bracket. I would check on that too.

 

Wow, never let anybody touch your car!!! (see what happens!!)
And u always use the perspective from inside.
So, if it is your driver side bumper corner beam, then "left" side.

 

71198-SEP-A00 SPACER, L. FR. BUMPER SIDE 1

this is the part # for the bumper spacer you might need.

I bought a used car so when I went to install my cold air intake(took off the bumper) I found that both the bracket and spacer were broken due to a previous collision. It was held together with zip ties. Bad. I had to replace both and now my bumper sits more flush.

 

thanks guys, much appriciated, now i can order what i need
