Can someone measure from the outer edge of the parking light holes to
the center of the outer support bolt, I think I have a bad bumper, like a
idiot I ordered new outer supports because I thought mine were wrong,
instead it looks like the bumper is wrong, man I hate repop parts.

I bought a new bumper from GMC Paul 2 years ago. It too had the mounting holes for the signal lights in the wrong spots on one side. The light fit into the bumper but I had to drill new holes in the new chrome bumper. i sent a note on to Paul but never got a reply.~~~On any and all repop stuff, you have to play with it to get it to fit.

Well....The Right side is 6 1/4 and the left side is 6 3/8. It's a repop. And now that I look at it the lights fit a little differently on each side.

Perhaps you just need the right sized hammer?
