My passenger side cornerlight and headlights isn't aligned. Not only that it seems like the head lights has been pushed in:






as oppose to driver's side:



anyone have any suggestions what to do? thanks

 

i have the same problem on my sedan. want to know too.

 

same with my eg
and my gf's old ef 4dr was like that.. i want to know why too !

edit: i mean 3

 

yeah BUMP on this thread. my corner lens are both like that on my EF hatch...the bottom coners dont sit flush. and like shanghaining said it looks like my headlights have been pushed back. anyone know why this is has happend???

 

wow looks like i'm not the only one that has this problem.

 

Has any of your cars been in an accident??? If so thats one of the most common problems with the lights not lining up. You can also try and losen every bolt on your headlights and re-adjust your headlight to see if you can fix the problem. THe problem with the older cars is unless you are the original owner you dont really know if it has been crashed or not. I would try and loosen all the bolts and re-adjust the head light.

 

wow same problem with mine





edit: then again my car was obviously involved in a fender bender a while back (previous owner)

 

I just fixed mine, it's acutally quite easy (for me anyway). For me all I did was adjust the screw on the headlights. If you look at the back of your headlight you should see a long screw. Adjust it. I might help

 

yeah ive done that and it improved a little. arent there supposed to be two adjusting screws tho. one for up and down and one for left and right? theres a screw below the light that is fitted for an alenwrench but i didnt mess with it.

 

haha Mines the same way

 

I've got problems with both my headlights. The driver's side points way too high up because the plastic piece that holds the adjustment screw is missing. It's as simple to fix as going to Home Depot and getting some nuts, which my lazy *** hasn't done yet.

The other side is the same as the original poster's, the outside edge of the headlight is pushed back. That's probably from a very minor collision. The bumper will have to come off. The tabs where the headlight mounts on the side are probably bent backwards.

 

BUMP 4 SAME PROB!!! (only MUCH worse looking!)

x eleventy billion

 

yeah mine is way worse than the original posters....i tried adjusting my screws but that didnt help at all...where it was at befor i adjusted them was the best they could get...looks like im gonna have to order a JDM SiRII front clip!!!

 

mine is the same way lol

 

Same here, and with my previous two crxs....I always figured they were in accidents, but could never find any proof of one.....

 

Now, not to be condescending, but in the original post it looks like you have aftermarket corners, correct? I myself am using similar ones, but I've noticed they're definitely not the BEST fitment (compared to OEM). So the first step is to make sure you have some Honda OEM corner goodness. Like others said adjust the lights with the screw and you can move them a little forward and back.

I'm about to dive into figuring out why my passenger side headlight wobbles back and forth when the hood is open, as I assume that also has something to do w/ the alignment. Let ya'll know if there's any secrets lurking around under there that'll help us get a cleaner look.

I've really been considering this lately as well. I can't find **** though.

 

I definatly started a thread about this awhile ago and its dissappeard. I was told it was one of those white washes that has stripped out. I looked at it myself and there is indeed a white plastic thing down at the bottom with a threaded rod going through it. Check it out, you'll see what i mean. I havnt had a chance to mess with it yet though.

 

i go the same prob lol!!! looks like im not alone, i think with alittle time and adjustment i could get them to line up well. I think my passanger side got hit slightly not enough to total the car but enough to skew the side alittle bad previous driver.

 

the aftermarket corner fits fine, same as original. When the OEM light was on there, it had the same problem.

Sorry to hear about all those problems, but I fixed mine by adjusting my screws, but the problem now is that my headlights light beam is kinda crossed eyed

 

LOL thats exactly how mine is and it drives me nuts...

 

Same problem here neither of the corners are snug against the hood, theyve been like that since i boughty it. They are about 1/4 way full of water now they still work and all its just ugly looking when your up close looking at them, I ordered a set of stock si/hf corners the ones with the lil amber part on em, I really like the looks of em I need to get em put on, but I couldnt get the corners that are on there to pop off, Im hoping the stock lights will fill up the gap thats there i figured it was because they were aftermarket is why their was that gap whatever it is it looks tacky I need to go try and pop them off again today maybe I wasnt trying hard enough hell I was wrenching pretty hard

 

my aftermarket corner lamp fits better than the stock one

 

Haha, my passenger's side corner is just like that, but I'm about 99% sure that the car was never involved in any accident whatsoever.

We really need a definitive FAQ that covers how to repair caved in lights/warped bumpers. I mean, at least 95% of the EF's/ED's I see driving on the road have caved in lights and/or warped bumpers. Seriously though, faded paint doesn't bother me. The ghetto looking misaligned body panels/front ends do .

Cliffnotes: Someone write a damn FAQ on how to repair caved-in lights/warped bumpers.
