2002 se rear bumper install -HELP-

Damnit I removed my rear bumper fascia and now I'm have a $&($& hard time getting those two bolts under each rear tail light to properly line up.

Any suggestions??? If not, looks like I'll be on the road with my *** exposed

Jesus H. Christ those bolts were hard for me to reinstall too. It's damn near impossible to do the bumper reinstall alone. You need two people. Try putting those bolts through their holes before you attach all of the plastic bumper clips.

lets give a huge shout out to JACK STANDS.

Just prop up both the left/rear parts (the ones after the wheels) using jack stands and align one of the bolts from the top, get on your back and muscle those two under the tail light into place. Quickly attach the nuts and make 'em finger tight and you should be good.

I was replacing the left rear side marker color match finisher piece and also replace the bulb. Got everything back on, now the right side rear light is broken. CRAP!!!!!!!
