DIY: Bumper/Head Light Removal
#11
Darkmanrob, thank you for the great write up. Taking off the bumper and headlights was quick and easy for me after reading your instructions. I can't believe how the whole front of the Durango is plastic! I installed the oem bi-xenon headlights and wow what a difference. They look awesome and the light output is amazing compared to the halogens.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
Picts?

For those of you that are pros at removing the bumper I'm looking at removing it to figure out why I have so much play in mine none the less the bumper cover where it clips into the passenger side headlight does not stay in place it pops out. I'm still under the original warranty but I still like to know how and why this is going on.

Is there some schematic of what the front bumper consists of and what all the parts and pins that connect it all together ? This past weekend I found a couple of broken plastic parts that need to be ordered but don't know what else is involved and or maybe missing.

Well thank God for having warranty and friends at the dealership. I went to one dealership where I bought my D and they told me the majority of my complaints were not covered. Went to my buddy's dealership and almost everything was covered and what wasn'the made it get covered. Anyways my ffrontbumper was loose and iI thought the broken plastic piece was the reason why but turns out there's another part right below the passenger headlight that holds the bumper. Reason for being broken.....Durango is too low up front and I think my wife hit a curb with it on passenger side, not enough to make any obvious damage but enough that it broke 2 plastic pieces.
