So I'm debating on switching to some tinted headlights. Not sure I'll actually keep them on.

So after looking at my current ones I noothe passenger side headlight sits out further than inner blinker light. It seems the headlight is lined up with the side marker just fine. The drivers side isn't like this.

Is there any adjustment?

You will probably want the lights adjusted for usefulness at night rather than perfect visual alignment in daylight.
Edit, then you can worry about the alignment of the other lights and shim for looks.

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.

There is plenty of information on how to get your headlights adjusted.

Quarter inch drive and 4mm socket to adjust them. I aimed mine at night off a wall on my house. Clockwise = up Counter = Down... on mine anyway. I also did some extra work around them and parking lights.

Thanks for the help. I think I'll try the same thing. I never really drive them much at night.

I think everyone can see I still have a tad more shimming to do but they're close.

Well, it was the job yesterday, and I think it turned out well. It's not perfect, but excellent!

Cheers...
