Strange stray bolt in engine compartment
Today, while removing my 2004 TL's front bumper to replace HID ballasts and igniters, I found this stray bolt. It was loose, not oily, and likely just hanging out somewhere within the front bumper apparatus.
Anyone know now what this is and where it came from?
BTW, my intermittent headlight issue was fixed by changing out the original ballasts and igniters. Cost me about $140 and five hours of labor.

Any work done on starter or alternator?

Thanks Folks!
I did have my starter replaced many years back. Bolt probably fell and was wedged in the front bumper all this time. I will check the starter just to make sure.
What a relief.
