Unhappy High Beam Help!!!

I was cleaning my headlights from the outside and I accidently pressed to hard on my left high beam and it got pushed into the bumper. There is a small gap between my high beam and bumper now. Is there anyway to fix this without removing the bumper?

Ha ha, i can imagine how pissed you were! to fix it you just have to remove the headlights and the fasteners to the highbeams are right there, i hope your not a big guy otherwise your hand might not reach all the bolts.

Cool, that doesn't sound bad at all, but I do have pretty big hands. Is it hard to remove the headlights?

My passenger highbeam came like that when I bought the car. I wanted a temporary fix w/o removing the bumper so I took some folded paper towels and wrapped them with electrical tape. I stuffed it under the highbeam/bracket and it closed the gap pretty well. It has been like that for the past 2 years. I know kinda ghetto right, but eh I'm lazy lol.

Right above the headlight is a bolt and behind the front wheel fenders are two more. Removing the inner wheel fender is easy, turn your wheels as far as they will go and use a screw driver to remove the two screws, you can see the two bolts by bending away the inner wheel fender.

I finally got around to trying to get my headlights out and I've almost got them out except I cant get the wiring harnesses off of them. How do I go about remove it without damaging the headlight?
