Default Not another headlight post

So before I get jumped in this thread iv done searches on this! So read first plz. The guy who had the car before me I guess got some work done to the hood an adjusted the headlights wrong so I have this huge gap between the hood and headlight cover on the left an it's allowing a Ton of water to get in.. Iv already tried to adjust the headlight cover u can only move it up an down to sit flush with hood that's not what I'm trying to do I want to push the cover more to the hood to shorten the gap..this is aftermarket hood of course but even the stock hood was the same so it's not the hood fyi

Check the actual headlight assembly bolts that attach it to the frame, see if there's any spacers...

Are those rubber bump stoppers adjusted all the way up?

can we get a couple daytime pics, the ones with the HIDs going is freaking useless and the other is WAY to close in to see anything of meaning.

feels like the hood fitment is off, needs to come forward but with these pics it's hard to judge.

The hood is aligned as good as it's going to get I put this pic with the stock hood so you can see the gap it really doesn't look bad at all.. It's been raining a lot I wanna keep as much water as possible out. The last pic doesn't do it justice I can stick my index finger through the gap

1. you can adjust the actual eye lid on top of the headlamp assembly (the painted portion). i would play with that first.
2. its a aftermarket hood so fitment isnt gonna be perfect.
3. the bump stop on the driverside looks to be adjusted up too high..i would check that aswell.
