Default 97 civic sedan, headlight question

Sorry about the extremely noob question. Im got new oem headlights fro my gf's car and when she had purchased the car it was fine. Well shortly after purchasing it she hit a dog that probably weighed over 75+ lbs at about 70 mph. It messed up her whole front end. I have no clue were she took it to to get it fixed but the lights they put in it are extremely ghetto rigged and not even for the car. Now that i have the right heads lights they wont fit. The fender hits them before you can slide them in. My question is do you have to take off teh fender too, to get them in?

Thanks in advance and no im not a noob. I spend a majority of my time on the forums. Preludepower the most being that i do own a lude.

If you do have an answer please text me it at 214-392-1134 as i dont get on here much and i need to know by tomorrow so i can determine what im gunna do.

Thanks, Kevin

probably something is bent or pushed in during that accident.mostly u just need to take out the bumper and you can put the head lights w/ 0% problem.try and chech the radiator support were the headlights goes in.

The car's probably bent the front radiator support. Check the area where the spot welds connect the front support to the rest of the car.. If it's messed up, you need a new one.

It'll cost over $1,000 at the autobody shop after painting, etc..
