Hey everyone I'm new to the forum. I got my headlights done by kmoney he is nice at what he does. but neither him or I can figure out why there is a gap at the bottom of the headlights n the bumper. could anyone shed some light on why this is happening?

 

I have this on mine

Did u do anything to try n fix or, cover the gap. I don't want any water to get inside n mess with anything. that's my real fear.

 

Take a picture
I keep hearing about this but dont understand
Do u mind throwing a pic up to show us?

 

Is this gap after the headlight is installed? and the gap is between the bottom of the headlight and the bumper?
I have the same thing.. No idea why..

 

I attached a pic, u should be able to see the gap.

Yes n yes. no clue on y it's happening but it's annoying to look at.

 

I have a gap and haven't touched my headlights, yet lol. You guys are only noticing it now it seems.

When I pushed on my bumber there was lots of flex and it minimized the gap slightly.

I recall reading somewhere on another thread that the bumber can be tightened up somehow....don't know if I read it incorrectly or it was bs. Anyways something to consider.

 

hopefully there is a fix for it somewhere. but when I push the bumper in it looks perfect, but it won't stay like it needs something to hold it. but all the screws n everything is in place. I swear only nissan man.

 

The bumper and the headlamps should not to be in direct contact. The headlamps are somewhat vulnerable to vibration and shock, while the bumpers are there to offer some protection to the car during accidents. We would not want a slight bump of the bumper to be transmitted to the headlamps.

Carrying this further, the headlamps should be adjustable, which means they should not be in direct contact with any part of the car that might impede that ability to adjust them.

I look at this gap as equivalent to the gap between the tires and the wheel wells. We don't want a large gap there, but to have no gap would impede the function of the springs, struts, tires and steering apparatus.

 

I have the same issue. I got the gap after removing the bumper for grill and fog light install, and the gap carried over even after I installed my new headlights from KMoney. I think there's a clip that the bumper goes into that is connected to the headlight housing (a bunch of wires is held by the same clip) and the bumper connector part should fit in there. My problem is that it won't stay in the clip, like there is a bolt or screw missing somewhere near the middle.

 

was thinking there had to be something that the bumper had to go into. hopefully we can figure it out, if not just wanna make the gap as small as possible so no water will damage anything.
