you might have to aim the light differently to compinsate for the placing of the light housing

i dont mean aiming i mean how the light sits in the housing on my car. its not flush with the bumper

try removing the headlight and reinstalling it. that way if it was bumped in from it's normal position, by reseating it it should realign everything. you can also check for any possible damage in the mount or on the back of the light as well.

i think hes talking about in the front, on the bottom, it doesnt sit ontop of the bumper like it should, it kinda hangs behind it level

thanks alot

im gonna go kill myself now

hehe....I actually think that the headlights are okay, I think it is your bumper that is off. I am pretty sure I read somewhere that you can move the bumper somewhat. by the way, nice loking car!

take the bumper off and trim the styrofoam thats inbetween the bumper and the crash bar. thats what is "pushing" up on the top of the bumper
