I just installed front headlights on my 2002 Durango and they have a gap on the top.

not really impressed, although they look better than stock.

Would anyone have any ideas on what I can put in there to fill the gap or any other suggestions?

Thanks
Steve

 

I used weatherstripping and trimmed it to fit inside the gap.

 

Have you "aimed" your headlights yet? These may be "tipping forward" and thus revealing a gap.

Weatherstripping will fill the gap and all will be fine in the end.

 

those one piece lights have adjusters on the back that might all need to be turned in some to bring the light closer to the fender

 

i answered your concern on dak-dur

 

no I have not aimed them.


a few have mentioned weather stripping - do you mean automotive or just the foam type?


thx steve

 

Steve100.....just find something to fill the gap. The material should not matter. However, I bet the gap will be less objectionable once you aim them.

Your headlights similar to what I have, and after aiming them, the "gap" seems fine. I attribute it to the shape not being 100% OEM. Then again a black gap on a black D does not show up as bad.

 

There is also usually some slop in the mounting points, so if you loosen the 3 bolts that hold the headlight on a bit you might be able to move it around a bit and close the gap some. Aftermarket lights aren't perfect though obviously.

 

I was wondering how these lights have been holding up for you?

I have been wanting to replace my OEM headlights since they really are becoming ineffective.
