Default refiting front bumper, help~

i was installing the smoke diffusers into my headlights folloeing rick's instruction, eveything went well until putting everything back onto the car. i have a really hard time refitting the headlights to it's position, the top fell deeper than the bottom part of the headlight. i then try to put the bumper back on so i can drive it to the body shop to get ppl refit everything for me. However, i couldn't put it back on.....i don't know how to explain...i just couldn't push the bumper in.....i was 70% done on the left side but couldn't get the right side in, it pops back out~

well, i am so tire gonna wait til tomorrow and give it another try~

Before you tighten all 4 bolts on the headlight housing, try to at least get it in the right position. Then tighten slowly, and your lights should be in straight.

Just be patient w/ putting the front bumper. Make sure you get that center foam piece lined up straight. Start on one end of the car, and kind of get it into position. Make sure you get the plastic fender lining tucked inside the bumper, and that goes for the entire bottom too. Then move on the other side doing the same thing. You kind of have to pull down to get that tab into place in the very corner of the bumper, then push in, to get the bumper on all the hooks. It just takes some patience, and get another person to help you too.
