I have a base GSR and I recently installed the SSS projector headlights.

Ever since the new headlights went in I started noticing that the gap between the headlight housing and the bumper (underneath) is quite huge, especially the driver side.

I got all paranoid and started hunting for close-up pictures on the forum to verify whether it’s a quality control issue on Mitsu’s part or I just didn’t put my bumper back on properly. I even went to the dealer to check out a few evo’s and I noticed that some cars have nearly no gap while others have gap nearly as bad as mine

Anyone else notice this? Is this normal?

 

True, some are less than perfect. Mine straight out of the dealership has a gap as well.

Don't think too much of it. It's really not that noticeable from a distance.

 

mayber your bumper's not aligned...check it..probably you just need to push the bumper in when you've removed the clips/bolts...

 

Mine did the same thing

Unfortunately, you need to take the bumper off to push it closer. I had to push in the driver side while tightening the bolts. Wait until you swap out your intercooler or something to make the project worth the effort.

 

This sounds like something wasn't mounted properly.

 

No mine came with a bit of a gap from the factory. I think its normal for these cars.

 

Mine has always had a bit of a gap, but it was noticeably more after installing my headlights.

Now there is just the "normal" amount of gap.

Honestly, yours is probably just fine. If it really bothers you, then take the time to fix it. If not, just keep it in mind for the next time you have the front off.

 

Mine too. Not noticable unless you point it out, and even then, the person you show it to might say you're being a little nitpicky.

 

Thanks for the inputs guys. I guess I just got a bit paranoid lol

I think I’ll take xPRimNT’s advise and fix it when I do my FMIC or UICP/LICP.

xPRimNT, there might be a breakthrough on the DRL issue lol. My dealer told me that a tech from head office said the fix involves swap two wires but I don’t have the details as to which two. I’ll try to find out more and report back in the other thread.

 

mine is the same its normal

 

Hi, how much did you pay for your sss headlight ?? I'm tired of using the reflector headlight + H.I.D, the ballastic is so easy burn ... Just wondering after you change them to projector, do you need to install H.I.D moduel to change the color of the headlight??

 

The bulb determines the color of the light.

 

wow, seriously? i think you need to do at least some basic research instead of slapping some random kit on and hope for the best.
