I'm not sure about this. I wouldn't think that bumpers are made specifically for halo headlights. The headlight casing should fit with an OEM style bumper on the car.

Maybe someone else has more experience with this.

You are correct sir... Any bumper made for your make/model car, will house any halo headlights made for your make/model car... Regardless if you buy a stock bumper, or a crazy aftermarket bumper, they will fit as long as the headlights are made for your make and model...

Maybe he tried to fit halos that were for the wrong year or something?

There should be a part number on the housing somewhere... Google the p/n and it should tell you what its made for... Also on the weatherstripping, check on ebay...
