Hello! New here! I recently got this truck and when changing out the grill for the correct year model grill i noticed one headlight sticks out almost half an inch outside of the grill, what can i do to correct this?

im gonna go out on a limb and suggest removing the grille and adjusting the adjustment bolts.

Negatory and shame on both of you! Problem is that one headlight is a low-quality aftermarket piece, a couple brands back in the day did this, not sure if any of them are still this way. DEPO was bad about it years ago.

Solution is to replace the light with a better one or you can try putting the housing onto a factory bracket, some have solved it that way, I never bothered trying just ditched the light for a better one.

Adjustment doesn't move the entire light in and out equally. Only up/down at an angle, and in/out at an angle as well.
