Default Headlights and Hood off?

Okay so there's this huge gap between my hood and my passenger headlight ( pic below #1 & #2 ). There's also a picture of the driver side, the gap looks fine it just needs to be pushed up a bit to match the fender ( pic #3 ). Finally there's a picture of how my hood meets my front end, to me this gap looks a little big ( pic #4 ). It will only get bigger if I adjust my hood by moving it up to get it aligned with my driver side fender. I'm wondering what I should do here, on the passenger side it almost looks like the headlight is sitting to high and forcing the fender out. Although at night when I have my lights on they're aligned perfectly. So I'm really lost here. Anyone know what I should do?

A gap between the hood and taillight? That would be the length of the car! I know what you meant.
Your car's been messed with, or has been messed up in the past. Do the fender mounting bolts look like they've been tampered with? It's possible some body work/replacement was done to your car and the panels weren't lined up perfectly. Look at other things too, like the headlight mounts and bumper attachments for signs of tampering. For the passenger side fender gap, you might want to loosen the top bolts and push the fender closer to the hood.
