Hey everyone. So awhile back I had the front fascia removed and repainted. I just noticed there are small gaps in the front corner edge where the fascia meets the headlights…on both sides. Never noticed it before and I don’t think it’s normal. I tried removing the fascia and replacing it but the gaps remain. Has anyone else had this issue when removing/replacing the fascia. It’s not really noticeable but I’m worried about water getting in and messing something up. Hard to see in the pic below, but you can look into the engine bay through the gap :(

LOL sorry about that! Whenever I get in close to check something on the car I always notice imperfections and it drives me nuts! Thanks for the responses though..seems to be "normal" I guess. Just crazy I never noticed them before. Not an issue aesthetically speaking as you can barely see the gaps. I was just worried about potential for water to get in and effect the electronics or intakes in some way. I was considering hitting it from the inside with some clear silicone to cover the gaps but that may not be necessary. Thanks!

Looks normal to me in your pic. The forward end of the headlight assembly is almost "free floating", it's not attached. This is, of course, to facilitate the removal of the bumper cover: the headlights stay put. I can't see water seeping between the assembly and the cover causing any issues at all: the assembly is sealed and the cover is just painted plastic. There isn't anything for water to get at.
