    Installed True North hybrid bumper (color matched), new aftermarket grill, headlights and corner lights. The corner lights have a big gap with both the headlights and side panels. Is there anyway to adjust the gap?

    Got any better pictures that show what the issue is? I have only pulled one corner light housing in my 20+ years with this truck, I don't recall there being any adjustment. It should only install one way and if correct have a nice even reveal to the fender.

    If using aftermarket parts that could be your issue.

    Here are some pics. Yes, aftermarket. Can it be fixed or do I need to source oem parts?

    I can't say for sure if they can be fixed, since I can't be sure of what the cause is. It looks as if they aren't seated all the way in.
    One known issue with some aftermarket parts can be poor fitment compared to OEM.

    Loosen tht Phillips screw, press in lamp and at same time, tighten same screw

    also on the back of the lamp, there should be a dowel/pin
    That slides into a hole on the fender(non appearance portion)

    nothing to do with tht sweet bumper
