Those look pretty good. I decided to go with just a bulb upgrade instead of the whole unit. Also, a good wet sanding and polish does wonders for the factory assemblies when they start to cloud.

The gaps probably just mean he needs a bracket adjustment, as I believe the brackets are adjustable where they bolt to the frame. Mine has similar "gaps", although not quite as big, from when I replaced my stock bumper. Just haven't gotten around to taking it back off to do the adjustment, its only noticeable on mine when up close anyway.

The original poster did us a favor in taking the time to post what he did. I think it looks alright, not perfect, but good enough that we dont need to rip on him. Especially dont rip on the kid. Its just a kid running around in mid stride.

Sometimes if you take a pic from a funny angle you will see something you arent accustomed to seeing. Could be a little of that going on with the gaps. Also I thought there was some sort of rubber gasket around part of the headlight, or there appears to be one on mine.
