    I recently installed Morimoto XB LED Headlights on my '23 tacoma and the light doesn't sit flush on the passenger side. All the holes line up.

    Is there any way to get this to sit flush, and if not, will the extra gap hurt anything in the way of dust and water getting in there?

    Tried taking it off and reinstalling, the fitment is pretty straightforward... still maybe I'm missing something. Drivers side looks fine.

    The clip from the bumper doesn't hold well anymore. I was a bit rough with it and yanked from top to front instead of starting bottom up. I'm such an ogre with all these plastic clips. Live and learn. I got the gap a bit smaller today but it still looks a bit off. I positioned the headlight first before clipping it in, rather than lining up the holes and clipping it in.

    Thanks for the response.
