Headlight Doesn't Fit

Congrats on the new shiners btw!

Well, one new shiner.

I've had the lights in and out over the years and never a problem. It's pretty easy to see if all four pins are engaged.

Pulled the yellow keeper on the electrical connector to take it out of play and it still doesn't fit.

True.

Do this, remove the passenger side and measure/compare the height of each side rails in the fenders. Suspect the driver's side bracket gone out of alignment. For whatever reason... double check that. Those headlights are the correct ones and will fit.

Can't be the connector, that is the last 10mm slide they will see. The headlight should already be flushed with the bumper before reaching to that back connector.

I've had some that were stubborn and wouldn't go in easily. My only suggestion is to keep on trying and double check that it's "IN!". Push on it from behind. I've heard of people thinking the got their headlights in until they came to a stop and they went flying out.

The light is so out of position that there's no way it will lock. I've tried in the hopes it would pull it into position but it quickly gets to a point where something is gonna break.

You already at the brass parts? ^^Might want to check if the tray got out of alignment before. No? Just trying to help man...

Good luck to you

I appreciate any and all help with this issue. Plan on following your suggestion of measuring the guides in comparison to the passenger's side but if I found them out of whack, was inquiring if the brass fittings can make the adjustments.
