i had a great time drifting at a track, and the results from that were like 4 crashes haha.




It seems that the bracket/frame underneath the headlight, where the headlight bracket bolts on to, is pushed in from crashing. i can definitely tell that, at night, the headlight is facing downward a lot comparing to the other side. However, the plastic headlight tab only cracked and broke a little. I can line up the headlight against the fender if i unbolt it. WHen it's lined up, there's like 1 inch gap between the bracket/frame and the headlight tab.
Because of this misaligned headlight, underneath of the hood touches plastic part of the headlight. (won't latch in)
Can i simply hammer out the frame/bracket from the wheel well until the headlight aligns with the fender?
i got a sick pull from the same crash lol

that's so true. i thought there may be a better way to push out the bracket/frame. I quickly checked the surrounding area, and noticed that bracket/frame can be removed. can anyone confirm this?
