My 2010 kizashi sls had paint problem and after few phone calls to california suzuki painted whole car. After getting car back i notice that the fog lights are not installed like it was from new. Now between front bumper and fog lights there is a gap like half inch or bigger. i did point that to dealer and they checked and say that fog light can be installed only one way and that my fog light are installed ok. i did show then 2011 with fog lights and there are no gap but dealer say mine were like that from new. i know it wasn't like that i remember it was no gap couse always when i washed the car i did dry fog lights glass and it was no gap. Now i went to body shop to replace front bumper because of accident and i did tell the guy in shop about fog lights. He did checked and say that he can't do nothing that gap will stay. He did replace front bumper and gap is still there maybe just little smaller. Whats wrong? Please help i know it wasn't like that anybody has same problem?

I'm lost here.

Are you saying you were in an accident that required replacement of the bumper, and now the fog lights aren't lined up?

Ok let me straight up. Suzuki painted whole car because of paint problem. After getting car back from dealer i notice gaps between bumper and fog lights. Dealer didnt want to fix because they say that fog lights can fit one way only. Now i had accident and the front bumper was replaced and i told guy who was fixing my car about fog lights and he say he will look at that, but two days later he called me and say that he cant fix that gap because its only one way and they are installed correct and gaps are still there. Can't understand why there was no gap when car was new and now it cant be fix.

I hit a deer with my Kizashi and my bumpers f'd so when I finally get it replaced I'll let you know if the same thing happens to me. If you want I could look at my fog lights from inside the bumper, take a video and you could see if there's any differences in yours.

I had sealed like that when it was new. Then dealer painted whole car because of paint chip problem I got car back with gaps like that. Anytime I told dealer about this gaps he say that fog lights fit only one way so probably it was like that from new. I know it wasn't I have car from new it had only 8 miles on. Any idea if there is any way to fix it? I was thinking maybe while they paint car by accident they put fog lights from different car. I looked inside bumper and look like lights are screw in good place and there is no way to push it more to the front.
