My driver side front DRL above the headlight is not aligned with the light bar. Passenger side is good. Has anyone encountered this and aligned it themselves? The selling dealer says the bumper has to be removed to fix it.

I'm lucky in that my truck seems to be aligned well. Others have complained about the mis-alignment.

If it is bad enough and the bumper needs to be removed, ask them what they are waiting on to fix it, it's on them.

On the other hand, I'm always cautious about repairs/fixes like this. Do you trust them to get it apart and back together? Sometimes living with a slight misalignment might be the better solution.

I posted this on another similar thread, but I want to make sure I reach out to anyone who may know how to fix this issue.

Can someone please tell me if this was figured out? On my 23MY, the driver's side headlight DRL bar is either sitting too high or the front center DRL is sitting too low. Is this something that needs to be fixed throigh Ford's service. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I adjusted with the bumpers underneath the hood and god good alignment. They look like black rubber topped screws that you can easily turn by hand. It takes more turns than you think and changing one side will have some effect on both sides so mess with it until it lines up.

Hi Greg! I can look into your Lightning's concern on my end. To get started, could you please send a private message over with the name/location of your local Ford dealer and your Lightning's VIN?
