79 Headlight Bezel gap

[Shawn]

All new trim parts and I'm getting this gap on both sides. Even the old OEM bezels do this. Do I space out the lower center trim on each end?

That is the solution I would look at. Probably the only way with basically no risk of ruining a part.

Thanks. I might try to take the brackets off the old OEM trim and see if it helps. If not, I will try some washers. These damn aftermarket parts are just kicking my ass with this build. First its the fender, then the hood, now the trim...

I'll take some pics of mine in a minute. I don't really remember there being a big gap, but then again I wasn't ever concerned with "pretty".

I know that the hood is TAIWAN. Beyond that I don't know what is factory or not. I have to think that the bezels and grill trim are GM because they are metal and all of the bolt holes line up perfectly.

You need to slide them together, they are not jointed.

Elaborate please

I don't think they slide together, the headlight bezels just overlay the center trim pieces like it shows in this video
