TYC headlights fitting like crap.

OK I am a noob with this car, actually it is my wife's car it is a 2002 Grand GTP 40th anniversary . I own a 2005 Neon SRT-4 since brand new. I wanted to replace her oxidized head light and new for the neon that TYC where the ones that fit best. I just got done swapping everything over and in the corner of the lights, next to fender and bumper, I can fit a whole finger in the gap. Is there a better brand for replacing the stock ones? I am pretty pissed that they fit so horribly. Thanks.
 


OK another newb question. I can figure out how to disassemble everything down to the getting the main headlight off the bracket. Now that I have the wiring harness and turn signal off the bracket what else do I unbolt?

That is my Neon before it shipped back to the states. I am not in the Army anymore, and the wife's car was bought from a family friend back in August last year completely stock. I am on a learning curve with supercharged engines and basically everything with this car. Seems that everything is braking since we bought it. Coolant sensors, ABS Harnesses, window regulators. Damn my luck.
 
I have TYC headlights, clear corners and factory brackets. They fit just as crappy as the stock headlights.....

Incase you havent figured it out yet, its 2 gray screw/bolts in the back.
 
Well I just got done swapping everything over and it still fits like crap. I think it is the turn signal area that is way out of spec. I can't use the stock ones because they are super faded on the inside. FML!!!!!!!

Are they fitting worse than the stockers? Or did the stockers fit like crap?

Here are mine with the stock brackets, headlights and clear corners:

That is how they were with the stock corners and are still the same with the TYC headlights. They just fit like crap, but some seem to be crappier than others.
 


They seem to have that huge gap. I will post some pics of the gap tomorrow. I think it is pretty disgusting, but it is my wife's car and she told me to chill because she didn't care. But come on you pay for a product and yeah there is a reasonable margin for error when duplicating something non vital, but when you can see inside the engine bay, that is out right disgusting to me.
