installing headlights i was wondering if you are supposed to install the headlamp assembles from the front or the rear of the front bumper cover? i just bought the car and there is a gap of probably 1/4 inch from the bottom of the headlamp to the bumper cover. i know this isn't right and it seems the headlamps are just a really tight fit in. any suggestions would be great.

hmmm....i actually got the headlights out without pulling any tabs. i didn't hear anything break. i am wondering if it was tweaked with on my car. however, i still can not get the gaps out (between the bottom of the headlights and the rear of the bumper where the headlights go. if you understand what i am saying that is....i may take a pic or two showing you.
