The bezel appears to be correctly installed. There will be some gap between the light housing and bezel.
The alignment of the lights needs to be set before installing the bezels.

Thank you for the replies, I'll try to adjust the aim a bit to see if that helps the gap. I can't imagine that a gap that large is correct. Hopefully some penetrating oil will free up the frozen adjusters

Same exact problem im having. Its so frustrating reaching out to Damian at Knight Tv because he's never responded to any of my emails. Ive pre-ordered several products. Im having the same issue witht the bezels, were you able to get it corrected? If so, please share.

• your stops are adjusted too high.




• lower the overall light lift height by raising the jam nuts. the bezel then will not rise above the lip of the front bumper as yours are currently doing.

• at this point your light beams will be aimed too low, so use the goldenrod to raise the light modules back to the correct beam height.

• fixed.
