headlight alignment

One headlight has a larger gap to the bumper than the other one. The bumper looks lined up to the fender. Before I start removing the bumper, anyone know how adjustment does the headlight have left and right?

probably like a half inch left or right I'd say. Remember though that you don't want to mess with the pitch of the headlight beam too much or else your lights will be pointing in funky directions. You can also adjust the bumper very slightly left/right/up/down by the Torx bolts holding it in place, try that first to close the gap.
