Default Headlight problem [pics]

The headlight and the turn signal don't line up on the driver's side. The car was in a fender bender with the previous owner. Anyway i tried the vertical adjustment screw and all other things and nothing matches them up, so do i need a new headlight or fender or what?

My friend's was like that on his 95 Civic, and his mounts on the headlight assembly were bent. We just bent them back to the best of our ability...

That is not even bad compared to some that I've seen, you should be happy.

and then look at taking out those lights and drying them (for a temp solution) or replacing them to get rid of condensation... looks bad, and it's bad for the bulbs.
