Gap after headlight upgrade

I just put on the '06 headlights on my '04 Coupe and now I see a gap of approx 1 cm at the bottom of each light (between the light and bumper). What the heck? The bumper is not loose or anything. Are the '06 headlights shorter than the '04 ones?!

I know what you mean. I got used to it since the G is black.

you need to realign the headlight so the gaps are even all around. Adjust the 4 bolts that hold the headlight in place until the gap is gone

yup, been there done that. Just loosen all 4 bolts slightly, move the light into place, and hold it while you tighten all 4 bolts
