    went to go replace my front turn signal but the bumper seems to have crushed it. I can get the old one out but can't fit the new one in there. Is there any way to solve this without replacing the bumper also? any tips helpIMG_0001.jpg

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    Up to you adjust or cut things to negate the impact damage or replace !!

    Me I would cut out what was needed to get the light back in.

    Was the light housing smashed as well??

    6" rough country lift, sitting on 35s, cargo rack with fuel tanks, high lift, spare tire mount, LCE EGR delete, train horn, on-board air, tubing bumpers, Front KC lights, xbull whinch, roof top tent, alot of overlanding gear.
    Just swap the wires from your turn signal to your marker light, and delete your original turn signal light completely. Then return your new turn signal.
