All done!!! Removed nose, replaced all nuts and bolts with new ones, replaced all washers with new ones. Painted any chips. And most of all, all my headlights are now identical!! All the lines match up and everything is solid as a rock. Will post pictures in a while. Thanks for the tips guys.

well what happend looks like this happend when the car was new becuase all the bolts and such were "set". It looks like he may have drove into something at just under hood levvel but now low enough to hit the bumper. The only thing "bent" was a piece of sheet metal next to the core support. Idk how this happen to be honost. The car passed inspection in that condition so its nothing bad I'm guessing, but i dont like the look of caved in headlights so i just wanted to get them lined up. I tape measured the distances between the lights and the corners and they match with the driver side so its pretty near perfect thank god. Took me a LOOOOONG time today.
