riceburner: There are two tabs on the back of the bracket that need to fit into the metal bracket on the car. One of them is easy to miss. If both of these aren't inserted, you could wind up with huge gaps, and a lot of shaking. Even at full adjustment, I don't think I could get huge gaps from the stock headlights. The only other thing I can think of is the bulbs. Do you have HID? If so, the focal point could be off slightly.
