    I could use some help. I finished installing the lights but noticed a significant gap between the fender and the housing - incorrect install or a case of "it is what it is"?20191009_154513.jpg

    Did you check for a gap before installation? Several people have reported that their fenders were tweaked before installing the new lights due to off roading. My gaps are pretty uneven between both lights and I still have the OEMs.

    No, shouldn't be, I bought the truck in April with 5,210 miles.

    Admittedly no, I didn't check before I began the install. I do take it off-roading quite a bit but nothing crazy by any means. I feel like I would have noticed such a gap on the OEM headlights but who knows at this point ha.

    Anyway it sounds like my issue isn't normal so I might have to take it apart again and see what's going on. I appreciate the replies. Doesn't seem to be any room to maneuver the housings any further back though.

    I am pretty sure the XB headlight assemblies were digitally scanned to match the OEM part. Anything is possible but the huge gap is simply unacceptable. I would reinstall one OEM headlight and see if the fit is the same or different.

    I mean I'm not happy about it but I want to make sure it's not user error first. If anyone else has the same issue, feel free to chime in.

    Thanks for the reply - I'll take it apart tonight and see if I can fix it. Weird thing is the gap exists on both headlights, I can't imagine I screwed up that bad putting everything back together, but it's worth a second look. The gap is enough for me to attempt a return if I can't fix it.

    If you cant get rid of it, and you already have everything torn down, you may as well reinstall the OEM housing as well and see how that sits. Then you will know for sure if its the XBs or not. Please let us know how it goes because some of us are still waiting for the initial reports before we pull the trigger.

    huh? haha
