Had a minor fender bender a few weeks ago - my front bumper to SUV's trailer hitch. No damage to the SUV, but my mint chrome fender is toast, as is the hood. The body just behind the bumper is pushed in. It doesn’t appear to go down as far as the spare tire shelf, so I don’t believe the frame or alignment is affected. Headlight buckets are creased, left worse than right.

No worries. Italian turnsignal lenses. I sanded the buckets, resprayed with chrome paint, epoxied in new 1157 sockets, and used amber 1157 bulbs. Turned out pretty nice.
For the side markers, I used clear lensed, amber LED side markers. Made by a company called Maxxima. Got 'em off ebay for like $6. Drilled holes in the proper places to epoxy some nylon threaded studs. They're pretty bright and are about 1/2 inch smaller in diameter vs. stock. I like the side markers vs. not, as I think they improve visibility of me at night. They even look pretty correct vs. stock. |
