Default Saggy headlights

My drivers side headlight is not sitting flush any more. Seems to have dropped down about 1/4 inch.(Closed position) But only on the right side...as you are looking at it. The left side is fine....its like the housing is twisted or something like that. What caused this? Any experience this problem?

The first thing that comes to mind is maybe the brace got bent a little. Maybe somebody sat on the hood? (Horrors!!) Not likely, but I would check to see if anything in the compatment looks out of line, check the good side against the saggy side, see if you can see any difference. Good luck. Wells :cheers:

Mine did that once and i found that one of the bolts that holds the support to the car was missing and another one was loose. Tightened the one bolt and replaced the other and no more problems.
