ya that's right I think my headlights are shrinking I was washing my truck yesterday and noticed that the passenger side headlight had a 3/4 of a gap on the outside part of the light were the light meats the fender but on the driver side it was flush to the fender

so I took it to my dealer and they looked it over and nothing was wrong with the light or fender one of the service guys had a Sonoma on the lot so we looked at his and he also had a gap not as big as mine.dose anyone else see this on their truck.....

The whole front clip just snaps in there. I wouldn't expect perfection.

I just took a hard look at mine, and yes they are placed slightly different. Passenger side headlamp on mine looks to have 1/4"
more gap at the side fender, and the drivers side headlamp appears
to gap slightly more on the bottom. I never noticed it before you mentioned it. Maybe that is why we rarely see pictures taken from the front-center!

update on my shrinking lights. when i saw the gape last week i took my head light covers off to get a closer look. and never put them back on till today after i washed my truck that is when i saw the scuff mark on the cover it looks like someone must have hit my headlight

not enough to bust it but enough to push it in and over now to find out if its the light that is bent or the frame behind it.....

Maybe in the summer they expand with the heat.
