It may be the camera angle but it appears you're running a lot of negative camber which begs the question of altered ride height.
HID's have a self-leveling system. The self-leveling system uses height sensors through the headlight beam level control ECU and height actuators at the headlights.
The headlight assemblies probably need their baseline level re-established. IOW, they need to be re-aimed.

Good point with the camber, it was lowered/cambered when I got it and I haven’t really played around with changing that quite yet. I agree the camera angle is weird, but if you look at the actual gaps between the panels and the headlights, you begin to see where it looks askew. It’s particularly noticeable on the drivers side.
Someone's done some mickey mouse **** to that front end. Best of luck figuring it out. This car has decently been in an accident. Probably low speed, low damage, but as usual, these things are repaired off of the books.
What is this, and why is it cracked?
Carfax is a hint, at best, to the history of the car. If it gets reported to insurance, or worked on at a dealership, it makes it on. EVERYTHING else never will EVER make it on.

I kind of suspected a collision after looking at it a while.

Interesting you mention Carfax, I checked out the Carfax the day I got it and it has nothing regarding any sort of damage/collision, there are a few listings for general service (power steering/body lubrication/fluids, etc.) though... I'm at a loss here.
I can't even begin to deduce what a good fix here might be.. The car is otherwise in beautiful condition.

Carfax tells you if insurance paid for it, or, if it was brought to a dealership.
So it's an imperfect story at best and frankly, doesn't mean much. It only alerts you to the big incidents.
