my guess is that the headlight mounts got all bent up in the wreck. pop the hood and take a look around, take a few pictures. pictures of the back of the headlights would be very valuable in finding and fixing your problem

Just got done fixing a frontal imapct accord. You might need to customise some of the pieces to get that stock look. If you want to invest the time, itll be worth it in the end.

Also, do a car fax on it.

Not really too sure from the pics, but it looks to me like ur hood alignment is off and not the headlights, u may have to bend the hood into place

The headlight doesn't seem to be in there correctly especially the passenger side one. I can't tell about the hood but it looks off too. I don't think I would have bought a car like that. Did he tell you it was in a wreck before you bought it?

Hood definitely needs some readjusting, but it won't move enough to cover up those headlight problems. Like they said before, check the mounts and if those are in good shape, you're probably going to need custom mounts.

well i hadnt thought about the hood, but looking closer, that seems like a very viable option. if it seems like the headlight mounts are ok, you might want to get a whole new hood

Looks to me like the lights are def not in the right spot but the hood looks off too. Does anyone know if the 96-97 hoods are the same as 94-95s?

Yes except the 96-97 hoods don't have the front emblem on it.

ughh i hated that. my headlights were like that. it was my brackets on top. they cracked and snapped. its fine now after i put my black housed lights in. check and see, maybe at night...just turn on u'r headlights a couple of feet away from a wall, or your garage and see if they the main emphasis from the headlights points alot higher or lower than the other, then its gotta be more the headlights and not the hood as much. thats kinda how i started assuming a problem in the beginning. good luck!
