I just swapped put my headlighs for some black housing ones from ebay. They look great, but i cant get the corner light and headlight to line up and be beside each other with no gap. Theres a huge gap between them and my headlight sticks out an inch more than the corner. The tabs in and are secure though. How can i line them up evenly? thanks

both.. If you move the outside adjustments(towards the parking lights) you can move the light forward/back. That will move the beam as well so you will need to adjust the one towards the grill as well to keep it pointing straight.

Did your lights come with the adjusters on it, or did you take them off your original lights and move them onto the new ones?

oh heck if they came with adjusters, take them off, slap the ones from your stockers on there and I bet that you are where you need to be or close to it.

But if not, yes those screws physically move the headlight housing. There are two on the fender side - Turn both of them one way and that side of the light will physically move either forward or backwards. This will move the beams light either in towards the center, or out towards the side if they are moved at the same rate. If you move the top a little less then the bottom then it will move the beam of the light up/down as well. So pull you car up to your wall/garage and turn the lights on and start adjusting them till the edges are even and the light is where you want it. With some lights it takes a little time and maybe a couple of sessions but don't let it get the best of you.
