ok, first, thanks for all the responses, I am still trying to figure out if I should DIY this.
more pics,
1st, I took the headlight out (surprising easy!!!)
the tray that they headlight sits on is not cracked, broken or misshapen in any way
so with the light out and hood closed:
This tab was the only broken thing on the headlight casing, so, I fixed it with some epoxy and a screw:
however, when I put it all back in it still does not sit where it should:
and the money shot
I don't get it, the fender does not have a mark on it, no wrinkles, nothing, I measure the headlight hole dimensions between driver and passenger side and they match, so strange!
PS, I don't know why vbb inverts the images when I upload them, apologies if you get neck strain
