Gap between fender and headlight

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
On the passenger of my car, there's a gap between the fender and the headlight. The fender is also not flush with the bumper.

The service centre obviously said that it's normal but there's no gap on the driver side. Is there a simple DIY solution to this problem?

Yes, there is! Remove and reinstall the bumper skin and adjust the way the headlights are secured so as to make each side more equally flush with the fender (youtube videos, service manual instruction). All while risking pre-mature damage to headlights, bumper skin paint, fender clips, bumper skin clips.

On a serious note, just leave it unless a. your headlights have an over or underbite with respect to the bumper skin and the paint is rubbing off b. you find a more compelling reason to remove the bumper skin down the road.
