I just bought and installed aftermarket black housing JDM headlights and turn signals, just wondering if there is any way to adjust the gap between the headlights and turn signals? On the drivers side the gap is about 1/4", on the other side the gap is about 1/2". I didn't notice whether or not it was like that on the stock lights that I took out.
Any help will be appreciated.

So I assume these are two piece headlights right? When I put my BOI headlights I had the same dillema with almost the same gaps. The only thing I could come up with to do was to tighten the passenger side corner lamp extra tight and tighten the driver side corner lamp barely at all. That still didn't entirely rid the uneven gap, but it's awfully dang close.

Yeah, two piece headlights. I'll try your idea. It's not that noticeable, but I see it. Thanks.

I don't believe that there is any adjustment for that gap (other than leaving screws loose...)

I would try messing with the alignment adjustments on the headlight. I spent quite a while adjusting mine before I got them perfect. I don't know how much this will effect that gap, but it can't hurt to play with it a bit.
