Default High beam not aligned

There's a small gap between my bumper cover and the high beams of my sc and I'm not quite sure how to align it properly? Would it require removing the bumper or is there another way?


Thanks,

you should remove the headlight so you can access the bolts and clips to tighten and align it properly.

@cmh - That's one I've been doing

I did that and I was able to wiggle it, but I don't know where/which bolts and clips to loosen. I loosen a few bolts that I saw, but I only managed to wiggle it. I'll take of the heads tomorrow and I'll snap a pic and maybe you guys could help me.

thanks,

is the bumper the one you should move, not the light. You have a gap in the hood/bumper, that can go a little closer.

the gap between the hood and bumper is even on both side, but the other beam is fine.

This happened to my SC when I was cleaning my high beams and pushed down too hard. I could never straighten it back up myself, so I had a body shop do it when I repainted my bumper.

I was told that I would have to remove my front bumper to get it completely straight.

oh, then maybe is one of the straps. I saw just a little separation and suppose it was only that. You should take the whole bumper off then. I have some screws there because the plastic clips that hold them break easily.
