there should be a screw on the top of the headlights that you need to adjust with a phillips screwdriver to make them even...!!!

I looked at them, and i cant tell. I ripped apart my headlights to set them back to how they were but there was nothing to do. I do know that the sunk in one came back out but when i put the bumper support back on it pushed it back, but I kinda want to keep the support, there are some crazy *** drivers here in minnesota

I'm not sure if my problem is the same thing. I can push one of my headlights back into the housing and have the light point into the sky. Is that similar to your problem?

I remote started my car into so many walls when I was younger...

The bumper alignment doesn't affect the headlight positioning. Neither does the hood... Or the crossmember? What are you smoking.

Your headlight buckets bolt to the chassis, if it's not lining up properly, your car's probably been in an accident and the metal has been twisted. Take off your bumper, etc and check for creases or folds in and around the radiator and headlight shrouds. If that's the case, then you'll have to get crafty with your skills to get the headlights to sit straight.

you know, I didnt see any creases but i do assume that it has been because of the front bumper and hood are black. But does anyone know if Sir liight would work, i thought they actually bolt onto the housing itself and not the bracket
