Need some help guys, recently I noticed the gaps between headlights and front bumper aren't the same. I can tell the passenger side gap is bigger than the driver side. I don't think it's like this when I first picked up the vehicle. Is there a way I can adjust it by myself?

Your's look okay. Here's mine for reference. AFAIK, my bumper has never been removed.

Thanks for the reference, your gap looks quite smaller, and they are even left and right. I guess I just need to learn to live with that, lol.

Looks like yours has a wider gap from the pic. What does the bumper gap against the panel at the side/fender look like? Is it as tight and properly aligned as Daytonaviolet pic shows?

The bumper should properly sit over the guides. Hopefully a sumo wrestler did not take a rest on your bumper.

Here's the factory gap dimensions to check against:

Thanks for sharing the website! I think the side gaps are fine.
