mom backed into me Well my car was sitting in the driveway and of course my mom wasnt looking and backed out of the garage and ran right into my drivers side. Ive found everything i need to repair the damage but it looks like the metal bracket that holds the headlight assembly and fog light is bent. I havent taken a look at it yet to see if I can maybe bend it back. If it isnt possible does anyone know where i can find one of these brackets? I beleive that it holds the headlight and then goes all the way down and holds the fog light too. I know this because the fog light is turned in towards the center of the car. If anyone can please help me it would be great. I wanna get this fixed as quick as possible.
Try the parts section WTB& FS.
I see no reason you should not be able to bend them back into positon. Once you have the bumper removed you will have a better picture of the position. Referance the pass side and you should be fine.
Just went through this myself.

Ebay, you can find brackets there. You need the upper bracket.
Depending on where the bracket is you may or may not be able to bend it back. It has this 90 degree folded part in it with two sections welded together, trying to straighten that out is practically impossible (mine is bent there and I can't get it quite right even after fighting with it like forever). Best just to get a new one, unless it is some other part that's bent (but since that trouble spot is also on the outside part of the bracket it usually takes the brunt of any damage to it).
