how do you adjust the tail lights to get them to fit better?

on a body thats been tweaked ( looks like yours has with the different color bumper ) remove tailites , open mounting holes with slightly larger drill bit , re-install hardware loose , align gaps , tighten hardware . gives a little room to shift around .

The metal part of the rear bumper is held onto the car by 4 studs on each side. They also have a little room to move for adjustment.

Looks like you need to push your left exhaust tip up a little, or bring the right one down.
