Idk much about this I plan on this conversion too. Did you double check if you bought pre lci or lci bumper? Also maybe where it was purchased? Just what comes off my head with no knowledge of this. Also no water will get in they are sealed. Otherwise water going through grill may makes it way to that area. Ive soaked under my hood cleaning oil spills and such to no light failure.

Factory or aftermarket bumper? Paint work looks abhorrent regardless.

No the gap won't let water into the headlamp.

If it is factory take it back and ask them to work harder to fit it properly.

If its aftermarket you got what you paid for.

I have the front m5 style bumper with same gaps and no issues, been running with that bumper for 3 years now. I live in Chicago so it has gone through rain/snow and whatever else there is with shit weather lol.
