Yup.......that's what I got. It charges, and then shuts down, giving
me an 'error code'.

I called the manufacturer's customer service. The guy told me
batteries designed for Canada are 'different' and don't work with the
'intelligent' system in their chargers. It will charge and then shut
down and must be recycled periodically. Great...... : /

A few days ago I notched that the drivers side headlight has popped
out about an inch. I see no way to adjust this. These is a spring on
the lower inside part of the headlight but, I don't see an adjustment
screw. Even if there is an adjustment screw how in the hell could it
just all of a sudden pop out an inch? Did something break?

Any signs of somebody having whacked your bumper really good?

Has the car ever had bodywork done? I notice the bumper's driver-side is
significantly rearwards of the grille compared to the passenger-side, which
is consistent with the Accord having once rear-ended something.

Can you easily wiggle the headlight up and down with your hand?

And also, does the light seem to be properly aimed?

The car was wrecked YEARS ago back in the 90's, so no issue there.

The bumper is aligned perfectly. Just the camera angle you are
seeing.

No one has hit the car, so no issue there.

The headlight isn't loose. I can push it back into place but it's
spring loaded and it just pops back out.

As you can see in these pics.
