Headlight Clearances

[1989se-i]

This headlight has a huge gap between the hood, and it seems to stick out further over the bumper...



This headlight on the other hand has a smaller gap, doesnt stick out quite as far and seems a little crooked....


Does anyone know how to adjust this? *tear

I'd say you would have to bend the mounts for the eadlight unit.

I'm gonna have to do that to cause some moron backed into my car and only mashed the headlight, so when I replace the headlight unit i'm sure i'll have to bend the mounts to the right spot .

Thats what happened to my car. On the bottom pic you can still see the damage to the bumper... I know the mount to the sidemarker was bent, cause i had to replace that lite.... and its still bent....
goddamn shittie drivers, i wanna kick their asses

lol that is exactly the way my headlights look rite now. one looks crooked and the other is out a little too much. Its all being fixed properly when i get my car painted and all that though. I'm probably going to bulid custom brackets because the previous owner just has a bunch of washers all over the place down there to set the headlights to look "right" he didnt do too good of a job though.

haha, mine too..........when i got in my last front end accident, when it got repaired, one side was crooked. and the other sticks out too much. Its not that bad, but it still pisses me off.

..thats kinda funny...

when i got my car the driver side was all fucked up. i got the new headlight mount and it didn't help. so i am thinking it is the thing where headlight mounts to. the radiator mounted on that thing too. i don't know what it calls, that why i sound so stupid.

Is this some sort of defect that happens to all 3G's?
