If the white smoke is coming from the exhaust you may have a blown head gasket.

White or white/bluish smoke is oil burning, and coming from under engine sounds like an oil leak dripping from valve cover or somewhere above like that and dripping on exhaust, manifold or pipe. Has nothing to do with headlights. Unless it was crashed hard and really smashed fender-well in to engine. But if you can get a competent mechanic to give you any more information for $35, you are getting off easy on that part. Good Luck ~~David
