Default Does Anyone Know

as to why my headlights are doing this? Well, not really doing this but why the gap between the headlights and the corners is so big? Everything is bolted in and no, the car has never been in an accident. I know that these cars are notorious for having gaps here and there but this big?







Any help/insight is greatly appreciated, as always!

screws holding the mounts in place? You're talking about the housing right? There's 4 bolts that the housing bolts to. 2 on top and 2 underneath. Is that what you're talking about? Adjusting the housing? I never knew that was possable. Can someone confirm?

What year headlights are those and what year corners. I know on a crx the 88-89 and 90-91 corners mount differently to the headlights maybe yo uhave the wrong corner headlight pair. just a thought.

Heh, it wouldn't suprise me. It's a 91 Si hatch. I didn't know that the headlights themselves were any different in size.

I agree.. it looks like the corner lights are not in correctly. If they are the later style you have to make sure it is installed properly or it will look like that .

Correct! I wish I'd pay more attention to things before I put stuff back together... The reason for the gap in the drivers side one (second pic) is because it appears that I am missing a piece that connects the lower part of the housing to the car. So the lower bolts for the housing of the headlights are no attached what so ever. Thanks for the help all!
