Default Truck body question

I just bought my 14 FX4 in March (brand new). The other day I noticed that the gaps are not even around the headlight housings. Now that I've noticed it, it is all I see when I look at the front of my truck. Is this something the dealer will fix, and if so, is it worth having them pull the truck apart to fix? It's not horrible, and everything is functionally fine, it's just really annoying. Any advice is appreciated.

Here's some pics.






The drivers side is the one that is crooked, and the gap between the light housing and the fender just really irks me.

the gap on the driver side between the hood and fender looks off too,
you should be able to move the light, loosen the 3 10mm bolts, move the light and retighten

I agree, it's close enough for a truck. Now if this was a Fusion or any other car for that matter, then it would be unacceptable. Trucks are assembled to "truck" specs. Live with it or buy a car.

Agreed, even mentioning a Bentley on these threads is a bit redundant.

Not the point of my comment. Its nitpicking. Take it back to the dealer and see what they tell you. I give you one guess what their gonna say, AND if they do mess with it will probably be more screwed up then when it went in.

Ditto. I had the exact same problem (headlight misaligned to the fender) with the 2014 FX4 I purchased last month. I took it back to the dealer, and it was fixed under warranty. Looks great now.
