Is there a diagram or YouTube vid showing how to adjust these? I’m assuming there’s one or two bolts that I could loosen? Main thing I want to avoid is assuming it’s straight forward, and snapping a wire/etc.

Don’t know about adjusting. You can probably YouTube SIXGEN OEM Smoked tail light install and I know Lethal has a video on it. I installed mine and it was a couple of nuts maybe three that were finger tight to remove them and by the studs going into holes or placement they automatically line themselves up so not sure on adjusting.

There is no Adjusting bolt per say, but you can see if there is some wiggle room in the holes drilled thru the body.

No built-in adjustment as already mentioned.

There are actually 5 mounting studs on each tail lamp housing, but only 3 have attachment nuts. The other two studs have orange caps which you could leave off to see if that adds to the wiggle room with the loosened nuts.

Also, if the above does not work, you could pull the housing and elongate the holes with a file or dremel to gain some wiggle room.

The push-pins that hold those carpeted panels in place can be challenging to remove. I suggest you have a few replacements on hand (1/4" hole, ~3/4" long).

Good luck with it.
