Did you know.... (regards the spotlamps in bumper)

Post by STARZILA »

Just got a bumper for my EX Starion im repairing and it came with a LH bumper lamp.
I went to put my RH in and noticed the surround bezel is longer and not as deep as the LH!
My spotlamp has spacers behind it from factory and the other doesnt........
Thats just weird :wtf:
I will add a pic of both tomorrow, if anyones interested.
p.s Does anyone have the deeper type surround for sale? Im after the RHS. :P

Is this the rear bumper? Surely something to do with the fog we have in Europe?

The front foglights and bumper (& reo) is the same. For whatever reason Mitsubishi spaced the foglights out so that they sit more flush with the bumper skin. The cast aluminium bezels are slightly different. This awesome pic should show the difference.
