Default FINALLY!! got my bumper off~BUT f--ked up my headlights!

i finally learned how to take off my front bumper, it's a piece of cake. took out my head lights, baked them, painted the housings, cracked one of the housings, resealed them, but f--ked up on that part..................can't seem to line them up evenly...............soooooooooo i'm purchasing some projector headlights next week.

but anyways my question is, how do you adjust the bracket properly, like is it soppose to go all the way down or the middle? i soppose that's how you adjust the headlights.

Do not get projectors if you want oem quality light.

Yeah, didn't everyone try to tell you that.

Didn't it take you like 2 weeks to get it off?

What makes you think aftermarket headlights will fit better than OEM??? Because they wont.

And you adjust the aim of the headlights from under the hood, not by unscrewing the brackets.

bro you could have stopped by some shops and asked them to help you taken it off, since you've done most of the part - i presume.

Anyways, It took me less than 15 min to take off my 5th Gen bumper and headlamp.

Don't get projectors, get some retrofited though. Or just get the OEM.

Or maybe adjust it so the holes on the bracket match up with the holes in the frame. Is it really that difficult?
