What's wrong with my headlights?
 

I just installed some clear signals and I took out the headlights in order to do so (which were a bitch to take out for some reason). At any rate, I put them back in and now they don't sit flush with the front bumper. It looks like they're sitting really weird now and I don't remember them looking like that, especially the passenger side. There is a gap between them and the front bumper, but they are back in exactly as I took them out. Does anyone know what's wrong?


...shit, I just realized I posted this in the wrong part of the forum... can we move this to the appearance section? Thanks :bang:

Just an observation, BUT..........

















I think you'll get better feedback in the appropriate forum ;) .

........oh and by the way, I beat a civic one time :)

good kill


on your headlights i mean.

there you go... fixed and now in the right section

Same thing happend to mine after I put in my clear corners. Just got to adjust them. All you need is a Torx bit, It's a T-15 I believe. Each headlight uses two threaded posts to make adjustments. I would also find a wall or garage to get them aimed right.

This will put them flush with the bumper? They need to be pushed forward somehow... so this adjustment will do that? I don't get why they're so off after I just removed them and put them back in :confused:

Make sure all the clips and all slid into place, easy to miss a clip . . .

This will do it. There are two slide in tabs. If you miss one, they'll sit funny.

ditto. had this happen to me a couple times.

They're def in the clips, I made sure of that. It has to be something else :( It looks like someone took a bat and punched them back in towards my engine and there is a def gap between the housings and front bumper.

Any other ideas? It looks like shit.
