Bumper, Lights and Brackets

Step 1

Fit one of the Light Covers into a matching recess of the Front Bumper and secure with two (2) AP screws.

The two surfaces of the Light Covers are not the same. The smooth side should be facing out:

Repeat this step on the other side of the Front Bumper with another two (2) AP screws:

Step 3

Fit one of the Power Coil Brackets to the right side of the Front Bumper, aligning the locating pin in the upper hole:

Secure this from behind with one (1) LP screw:

Step 4

Repeat this two more times with additional Power Coil Brackets and two (2) more LP screws:

Step 5

Repeat this process on the left side of the Front Bumper with the remaining Power Coil Brackets and three (3) more LP screws:

Step 6

The Front Bumper assembly should now look like this:

Steps 7-8

Retrieve your DeLorean and bring this Front Bumper assembly to the front of the car. Insert the two yellow LEDs into the holes behind each Light Cover, as shown:

Step 9

Slide the Front Bumper onto the car, fitting it into the recesses on each side.
