Not quite bodywork...tail light alignment?

[bhm1712]

Hi Guys,

quick query regarding tail light alignment.....

My old set of tail lights were slightly misaligned when tightened up into place - this was visible due to the clear reverse light sections. The left hand tail unit appeared to be lower than the right hand side by probably around 5mm+

now with my "new" tails it has swapped over. The right hand tail unit is now sitting lower than the left. Can this alignment be adjusted?? i cant see any means of doing that as the studs which stick through into the boot are fixed and thats the only thing which can affect the height as far as i see it!

file the holes out a bit?

i can certainly try but the holes in the tail panel into the boot are only just large enough to allow the studs through!

i have a feeling its something to do with the actual studs that are screwed into the back of the tail light units - maybe they are not quite straight.I could perhaps bend them a little. I have just never seen the issue on any other firebird or T/A 2nd gen
