Headlight gap between bumper and bottom of headlight? Fixable?
after replacing my headlight because of accident my headlight and bumper have a gap of about 1 inch(passenger side, replaced this headlight) while the driver side is perfect (headlight wasnt replaced), I had a bodyshop repaint the bumper as there was not enough damage to get it replaced (only 1 deep scrap and crap load of cracks in the paint). For cost reason i installed the bumper my self and headlight my self. But i am wondering is there anything wrong that i did that the headlight isnt sitting close the bumper properly.? Is there any housing the i might need to adjust? (i replaced headlight while the bumper was on the car, so from the top of the car, removing the 2 top screws and then the 2 bottom screws.
this was the procedure i used :

Hmmm, he explains in the video that this process can be a bit tricky, didn't you catch that ? Ha! No my guess is that you are sitting on the lower track instead of under it. I had this problem when I reinstalled mine once and didn't catch it. It's a bit tricky at first but if you focus in on that lower track you should see the issue. I remover it wasn't a natural slide it back in process.
