Looking for suggestions

[Mwags]

I recently installed aftermarket LED headlights and it was fairly easy but when I was finished there is a 1/4 gap between the light bezels and headlight cutouts in the grill.
I am wondering if anyone else came across this and what if anything you did to fill in this gap....All suggestions will be greatly appreciated

Maybe it is what it is?

Not saying it's correct, but OEM has gaps too. At least a 1/4 inch on the bottom half, both headlights. Fine FCA engineering I guess.

Hmmm,so there is but not as gaping....guess I didn't notice.

Up until more recently, there weren't any 9" aftermarket headlamps available for the JL. Companies were selling 7" headlamps with spacer adapters to fill the gap.

What did they advertise as the size of those lights?

7" with an adapter bracket for the JL.

7" with an adapter bracket for the JL.

The bracket was for mounting on the JL

So, what did you end up doing. I am having a similar issue, looking for a solution. Thinking I should get a thicker bracket?

FWIW, I think that looks fine.

Adds a little character.

I just left it alone.
