I'll slip out and take some side shots of my lights up close to see if the gap is similar. Got most of the pics workin. The first several aren't but the last few are workin.

Here's mine up close.

My passenger side fits like both yours, its just the drivers side with the gap...
And I had to grind a little of my fender to get it to fit because of the way the turn signal socket sits in the light

See? No gap

I wish that would've worked for mine but there's only one way for that socket to lock in the back of the housing

Supposedly mine was the same way. But guess that little defect was a good one lol. I wasn't doubting that you had a gap. On the acre piece that slides into the fender did it have a nut on it?? Mine did and I took it off yo get a tight fit.

I wasn't tryin to be an ass by posting that pic of the other side lol. And I didn't notice a nut on either side, but I wasn't looking for one either. I'll pull that side back out and check. Thanks for the heads up

Not a problem maybe I was just lookin at it wrong. It's all good. i don't know if yours will have the nut or not. I know the drivers side was a RPITA but after playing with the bulb socket and the way I put it in it was all snug and good lookin. Good luck I hope you can get it to fit better.

The gap between yalls bumper and fender would kill me after 2 hrs... Im guessing there like the 3rg gens where its just 4 bolts in the center to line em up?

Mine is the exact same way on my second gen...I have yet to see a second gen without a sagging bumper, I just leave mine that way so I fit in...LOL

On mine the bumper itself isn't sagging its the lower bumper cover and the upper cover. All my clips for the lower cover broke off last year. So it is only being held in my 2 self tappers and some zip ties. lol

my 94 i sold this year had the sag as well, but also one side of the lower plastic the clips broke so it was just stuck in place lol



my 01 sport i had a few years ago, the front bumper sat perfect, but that was untill it looked like this early one morning, but i tell you what, the headlights didnt have a scratch on em, but the pass one was embedded in the fender and no amount of force was going to get it out :crazy:

^What did you hit or what hit you? These trucks can normaly take a good hit and still stay together.
