Headlight/turn signal adjustment

First thing to check or notice is the "click" sound when you installed the clears... did they click into place? And are not at all loose, at the point that sticks out next to the headlight, pull lightly with your fingernail, if it comes out/loose then it wasnt installed all the way and try again (carefully) Hope this helps

It's in all the way alright (heard the click). A little too far in actually (I should have been more specific in original post). The bottom of the light is flush, but the top is about an 1/8" too deep.

Hmm. You really shouldn't need to adjust anything. Try remvoing them and re-installing-- and make sure that the blinker is perfectly level and that all of the slots and tabs are ligned up w/ their mates before pushing it in and getting the "click". Sounds to me like its not seated correctly-- I think it might be possible to get the lights to click but not get the blinker to slide in in the proper way. Do you have the same problem on both sides?

I installed OEM clears on my 2000 323Ci. The front corners are not flush with the headlights. Anyone know how to adjust for this?

Both sides are the same. Both lights slid in smoothly, no binding. However, getting it to "click" required a firm push. Maybe the problem is 2002 lights in a 2000. Anyway, would be nice to get them fit flush, but it won't kill me if they're not.
