i have a 95 gs that was in a passenger side front collision. The fender is messed up along with the front bumper and headlight. Behind the headlight, there is a frame that you bolt the headlights too....it is part of the radiator support. In the collison, this frame was mangled. I dont think I can bend it back.....i tried before and it didnt budge. Does anyone know if i have to replace the entire support or can i just replace the headlight frame?? Anyone with this or simmilar problem in the past......please leave a reply...any info is good info....

Thank you :dsm:
 
If I understand you right, then NO it is not the radiator support. You'll see that the radiator support bracket actually sits right next to the light bolt. You might havt to replace the panel and such which might fix some problems. :)
 
Hi,

It is very weird, I got into an accident with my Eclipse GS Spyder 1996 last week and it has the same issue but on the reverse side - right fender, right headlight and bumper are damaged and I have a leak of dark red substance. My hood does not want to pop so I do not know how to check whether it is the radiator or anything else, the tow guy told me that it looks like transmission fluid but the car drives even though it makes squeeking noices like from some belts and smells on something burned, do you think it is connected with the radiator support and some liquid like coolant involved there?

Thank you,

Svetlin

P.S
Sorry if I interfere with this tread, I could have posted it in a separate one but it looks like the same problem (without the leak part)
