Default Please help! Problems with new grille!

I hit a deer and decided to do a makeover. Bought new grille, headlight and turn signals. Not sure what is going on. Pics bellow.....

first pic head light is crooked. And what goes in between the head light and turn signal??


Second the is about an inch gap between the bottom of the grille and the top of the bumper....







Sorry pics are so dark.

The headlight is not installed correctly. I bet one of the tabs is not fitting into the slot in the firewall properly.

And it looks like you are missing the chrome strip for the grill.

yea you are missing the chrome molding on your grill, probably can get one for like $20. looks like your bumper might be sagging a little as well but there is a small gap between the bumper and the grill when installed properly, and your headlight is deffinatly not put in right. make sure the things on the headlights are sticking through the right hole and make sure your clips are pushed down the whole way

Are you sure the radiator support and hood latch support were not damaged in the accident?

I'm not really sure I will have a body shop take a look and tell me what they think. I really think the headlight is in right. But, I will look at that again.
Thanks guys for all your help.

Swarlkk, on your Blazer the chrome peice is red. Did you paint it? That's the look I wanted.

That's not a blazer... And that's stock. You can get paintable grills for the s-series trucks. You just have to get the right one. Check LMCTruck.com. They have them.

If you are sure the light is in correctly then the radiator support is bent. My left headlamp looked like that after my accident with my first blazer. Also bent the hood latch support.
