    Hey guys!
    I just put leds in my front marker lights. Went to put housing back in and they will not sit flush with the headlights anymore. Any ideas? Is there a clip in the grill frame the may have popped out too?

    I just did the exact same thing putting LEDs in the corner markers last week. There is a clip in the back that it slides into and you need to push it in flush to the side of the headlight housing. It's kind of a pain but it should slide right in.

    I got both clips in. I have pulled it apart 3 times now. Was thinking it was the harness in the way or missed a clip. But all is good.

    Thanks for the vid. Nope still at same spot. Lol there both out at the bottom. But are in the clip. I even pushed in hard to see if it would clip better but no change.

    I have similar problem. When I went to put my two side markers in the gap between the head light and marker light is uneven. The drive side is more noticeable. Still trying to figure out how I can adjust this gap.

    Mine is out to the front. Not the side. Is your light clipped right?

    Yea I took it apart 3 times and made sure all the clips fit correctly. I did also replace the driver side fender with a 40.00 eBay one since mine original had a fat dent. Maybe it the reason for this problem.
