Are anyone headlights actually flush?

[itfben]

Iv had two leons now and changed both to angel eyes and i swear none of the four sets of lights have sat perfectly flush. Is this normal or is it just me? Or is it kinda me being too much of a perfectionist?

Current got 2mm packer between light and grill. 2mm bottom part of light to bumper. 4mm top of light to bonnet and the big one! 6mm! From back/nearest side of car which seems like a big gap?

Anyone measure the big one for me and see if its supposed to be 6mm.

From my Exsperience aftermarket lights NEVER sit flush or fitt brilliantly ive had them on every car I've owned and there's always been a bigger gap somewhere

This is including the originals then?
If so, either the car might have had a smack, or you're just to fussy

dont think/hope it has't had a smack. plus its exactly the same either side.

and lee i mean 1 original set and 1 aftermarket set for my 1.6 and same again for the Cupra R

pisses me right off every time i clean the car cos i see the gap and its prob a normal size 6mm gap at back of lights


and Sam (Pyro) i put the old headlight back in and it was the same gaps as the angel eyes. They do look awesome though. CCFL rings in as standard he he he!

cheers mate appreciate it could you get on of the gap closest to the indicator? (the side) measure it? mines 6mm. however you gap seems bigger than mine to the grills (mines touching the grills closer to the bottom)

Ummmm if I had read this 20 mins ago I would but now it's pissing it down lol mines seem to be the same all the way round tho mate

changed to angel eyes on my wifes MK1 Punto cabriolet and the same thing mate, looks well out of line against the bonnet, lights seem to go further inwards
