I found a GREAT deal on eBay for a painted bumper to replace mine that got damaged after being run off the road by a UPS truck. $@$)@(*@()*%&)(@&$(! I am a little angry.... and they say it's not their fault...

Anyway. I was looking for a diagram of how to replace the front bumper. Where are all the bolts and clips at and what steps I need to take to do so.

Additionally, is there a link to how to easily remove the headlights too? I was told that I would need to remove the headlights prior to removing the bumper. Is that true?

Thank you everybody! I am very excited to join this group!

 

Replacement


• Put on gloves to protect your hands.
• When prying with a flat-tip screwdriver, wrap it with protective tape to prevent damage.
• Take care not bend or scratch the cover and other parts.

1. Loosen the mounting screw (A).


2. Loosen the mounting bolts and screws.


3. After loosening the mounting bolts and screws, remove the front bumper (A).


4. Disconnect and fog lamp connector (A).


5. Installation is the reverse of removal.


• Make sure the connector is plugged in properly.


I don't believe the headlights need to be removed but here's how just in case:

1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.

2. Loose the mounting bolts (2EA) of head lamp.


3. Remove the head lamp assembly after disconnecting the lamp connectors.


Take care that holding clip (A) is not to be damaged.

 

Just an FYI, For everyone to know, I found an affordable bumper cover for an 09 Sonata. Fully CAPA certified and PRE PAINTED to your specific color!

Just thought everyone would like to know about that!

D&H Auto Parts is the company. They are located in Naperville, IL.
If you send them a private message, they can strike a deal with you on one of their auctions to pick up the bumper if you so desire if you are anywhere close.

Thanks!
