Default Front bumper cover reassembly

Im getting my front bumper repainted and I was wondering if anyone has a diagram of the back side/inside of the bumper cover, there are two springs attached to the signal light/fog light area and don't remember where they attach.

There is a small tab made onto the backside of the bumper with a hole in it above the parking lamp housing, where one end of the spring attaches. The other end of the spring (parking lamp end) hooks into a notch on the parking lamp lens mounting bracket. You see the small notch right next to the letters "LH" in this picture. You'll see it. Can't miss it.

Glad to help.

Btw, when properly installed, the spring allows the parking light assembly a little "give" (to push inward a bit) and spring back into position.

Thanks for posting up the info. Will come in handy should I decide to go with some clear corners.
