Hello,

I have a question regarding the front-end headlight and bumper support bracket, highlighted here in red:



More specifically, I am wondering about the locations of where the sides of this bracket bolt on to the car, and how.

I already know the following:
- For the 3 central mounting points on the bracket, each have 2 bolts that attach to the frame.
- This bracket can not be removed entirely without first removing the headlights and bumper from the car.

I have attached photos to aid in the understanding of my question.

Thanks!

[SOLVED]

I was able to figure out this problem, with the aid of a section from the Repair Manual, sent to me.

The bolts located on each side of the bracket attach to the fenders:

The pictures don't quite show it, must be to the fender?

 

Thanks, Dicer. I was thinking the same, but it's still not quite clear. The visible bolt, connected to the frame in one of your photos, is for the fender.

I've been searching for a while, but it seems that this component is rarely mentioned.

EDIT: Solution found. Looks like I will need to remove the bumper to get to these bolts. [See initial post]

You were right, Dicer. Thanks
