Default Why is there a gap in the headlights?

There is a gap in my headlights, they don't hug the fender like they should. They are aftermarket clear corners.. I noticed once at a car show a brand new Bullitt 99-04 had the smoked headlights and they didn't line up either, he actually had it worse than mine did. It was only on the driver's side light too. Anyone familiar with this issue?

Looks like they were molded wrong during production, or they were installed wrong, which I doubt because there is really only one way.

Where did you get them? How long have you had them?

Yea I dont even know.. it's forcing me to get stock headlights because they look retarded. I got them from www.americanmuscle.com. Idk, i've seen it on a few stangs.. I thought my frame was bent or something idk.. my car's VIN is clean.

Aftermarket parts rarely fit like stock does.
