Front bumper not aligned under the headlight
Hi all,
I recently noticed my front bumper hang down right under one of the headlights after swapping my kidney grills. I thought i messed it up during the process of the grill swap but turns out it was always there, didn't pay close attention to it. Was wondering how to go about with this. I couldn't notice it for a couple of months until i decided to change my kidney grills. [IMG][/IMG] |

Looks as much like the inner edge of the headlamp housing is too high than the bumper too low.
There is a plastic ledge below the headlamp that the bumper fits over that holds it up, but nothing I remember in the area you have uneven gaps at. |

No thats not true. Its definitely a misalignment issue. If your vehicle is fairly new, I believe the dealer can cover cost to fix it under certain circumstances. When i bought my vehicle i had minor cosmetic issues. The dealer fixed it and covered the cost. I havent paid attention to this problem until a year later so im caught in a pickle situation.

Youtube search, removing the front bumper. To fix that issue, it's maybe 5-15 minutes of your time and using Torx socket and wrench. There's only about 8 or 9 Torx bolts that hold the front bumper on. If you are out of warranty, or just don't want to deal with the drop off/waiting, it's not a difficult fix.
